Saga continues. Put the ABS Pump that Invasion fixed for the third time in the car and the motor smoked. My guess is the pressure switch is bad (Invasions said was tested good - have my doubts), and motor ran too long.
I got a replacement ABS Pump from Steve and will put in on Monday. The plan is to eventually send the Invasion rebuilt pump to Canada for rebuild and have it available or sell it to someone who really needs it.
I would go after Invasion for the repair cost, but doubt if I could collect and life is short. Invasion Auto Parts in North Hollywood - a word about them. I cannot recommend them, and it may be a moot issue. Sam the crusty old owner is getting old, and the building run down and is for lease. The place is a filthy mess and there are parts (pumps, turbos, etc) to be repaired everywhere on the floor of the front office. They took me out back for the test and it was huge with work benches and stored parts all over the place, but very few people working. My guess is they are not long for this world
PLEASE DON'T recommend or use Invasion Auto Parts in North Hollywood. Read their reviews on YELP, I wish I had.
I WANT MY CAR BACK ON THE ROAD!
Not willing to accept the ridiculous price for an electric brake booster for my 1991 C2 Turbo.
I decided to research this subject. I also want to dilute the tedium on the forums lately …. paint correction , oil threads , ceramic polish , octane booster ..
so I found new replacement electric motors with a new shaft seal , Yes brand new for 220 $ .
pump with bad motor next to new pump new old side by side re-use flat seal , can't find the correct EPDM one new shaft seal assembled install and test with this. Factory manual says pump switches on @ 140 bar and switches off @ 180 bar
Black Hat, you said you ran into some gotchas, can you elaborate?
My pump is weeping and I'll be undertaking a repair in the somewhat near future and would really like your feedback/expertise.
Also, I'm right in Houston, maybe next time I'm out at COTA we can put together an air cooled hang-out or something.
