[A4] Climate Control HU

[Andy Schor]

I checked with Chris, he asked for the build date (or old p/n) because there 
was a changeover to a different unit.  I do not have the car with me (not my 
car).  I too, figured that a even a good used one would have a limited life. 
So the reman idea seems to make sense to me, .but we're trying to keep costs 
down without being penny-wise and pound foolish. I was hoping to get some 
feedback from the list.

The place I was directed to is: www.bbareman.com  They also do ABS pumps and 
instrument clusters.  I have had no experience with them, has anyone used 
them or any other remanufacturer with good (or not so good results)?

Thanks,
Andy
