[s-cars] RE: [SOS-cars]POS question

[James Murray (QA/EMC)]

When mine blew I went to the parts yard and got a replacement for $75 CND,
better then stealer prices. 

If the internal channels are the same but the packaging is different then it
shouldn't matter. I'd still prefer a used one then going through the trouble
of re-wiring a different part in there.

Hi guys,

My 93 S4 blew a POS, part number 4A0 905 351 A - about $375 Canadian.

In trying to debug the problem I used my wife's 2.8 V6's POS (single vs. S4
two) on the S4 part  number 4A0 905 351 cost unknown at this point in time.
it worked fine at least for the 5 minutes I ran it.

The question is.  I expect the V6's POS to be much cheaper (made in Japan VS
S4's made in Germany).  The V6's worked fine in the S4 even though the part
number is slightly different.  If the V6's is half the cost, which I expect
it will be (I'll find out tomorrow) does anybody see a problem with using
that one instead of the correct part number at a higher cost? Any BTDT? Is
the function of the POS fairly generic?

TIA

Lino
