Sorry I meant to say Scantech instead of Febi Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Sun, 6 Mar 2005 17:35:37 In Reply to: Febi brand, Mattias.se, Sun, 6 Mar 2005 15:28:32 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
One of my suppliers was offering Scantech and BUFO bolts. The BUFO bolts are the new ones from 2002 and up and the Scantech ones were the old look alike.
That supplier ran dry on the Scantech ones and now only offer BUFO (comes in Febi box).
Another supplier is selling Febi and that is the new ones from 2002 and if you look at the top of those bolts it says BUFO on them. That's why the other supplier calls them BUFO in their listing.
The third supplier list his bolts as TRW/Moog but when they arrive it is packaged in Goetze box and that is (at least for now) the old style look alike.
Are you confused now? You should be, that's the way it works in the aftermarket business. You never know for sure what you get and you need to know by heart what's good or not.
You can imagine a company that doesn't stay on top of all this and maybe have a big turn around on mechanics and parts guys. Suddenly they are installing sub standard parts in your car because they just don't know.
That was one of the things I didn't like at my old place, you pretty much had to do the parts guys job too if you wanted a certain brand of parts.
