RE: [SOS-cars]POS questionThanks James.

I have never seen an S4 in a bone yard, so I would expect it to be hard to find a 4A0 905 351 A at a wrecker.  And the V6's does not need rewiring.  It plugs right up.

  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
