So its a proven entity in the harshest condition for an engine and i guess you pay for that reassurance on quality and performance.
The Autotech internals havent had any of that, and overtime have proven to fail on many cars after 30-60k.

Ill leave you guys to debate. Im out :sad1:
rich83:
So they were €895.... now €575.... so €320 euros discount?
So I can only conclude that they were overpriced at €895.... hence the crack smoking comment. :happy2:

....Tut-tut! No debate was going on at all - Just polite and genuine questions asking for more information about the Loba HPFP itself rather than how much it costs.
I can only conclude that Loba's representatives need to fine tune and polish up their communication skills if they want to encourage sales of their products to car forum members - A not insignificant market, I would point out.
If I was considering which aftermarket HPFP to buy at this time, I would be extremely disappointed in not being able to learn more information from one (Loba) of only three HPFP producers for my car's platform.
Hedge:
I've just read from the start so now I see where the crack smoking comment comes from.
Ideally if you are looking to win some friends you would be telling us why these Loba pumps are so good. So far I know nothing about why they are an improvement and what they bring to the party.
I'm out, got some class A to burn. :laugh:.
