Just had someone do my timing belt, water pump and tensioner roller.... this looked ok, so I decided to re-use it. =o)

sell it on ebay, high performance !
Mine was worse, the impeller was almost nothing... my question is why wouldn't audi just spend the extra 5 cents and make that impeller metal in the first place?!

well look at this one.....
my window failed to roll up, so i took the door panel appart, took out all the guts to find out that audi decided to make our windows roll up with a pully system. This pully system consisted of plastic pullys and a metal cord, that over time, wheres out the pully, making it fail. Now instead of buying a new cord or even a pully, you now have to buy the whole thing as one part. Not cheep, unless you find it online
