Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I didn't see the old part. The dealer states that a vacuum can occur within the housing which leads to this type of failure; apparently, this type of failure is not terribly uncommon. From the dealer's point of view, this failure seems to be "bad luck". Any additional input? J.E. Harris '01 9-3 SE '97 900SE '88 9000T R.I.P.
