Last weekend I broke my year old throttle cable (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I decided to order a Terry Cable (best out there?) from PParts. The cable came in on Thursday (very good shipping time from CA to VA). I installed the cable today..too longer then I thought it would. It was a pain to remove the A/C console, pedal board, and snake the cable in while the car wa on all 4's. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) After adusting the cable so I had full open and the pedal stop so I would stretch the cable. I figured I was done. As I was depressing the pedal by hand SNAP (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) WTF After getting back in there I discovered the cable pulled out of the threaded piece that connects to the pedal linkage. WTF (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) So I have contacted PParts to see what they will do?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I thought the $40 cable would hold up better then this.. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Well (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) the new cable is on the way. I talked to PParts and they are sending the new cable out. The crappy thing is I had to pay for another cable before they would send the new one out.
The only way they would send the new cable, without charging me is to have me return the defective cable first. I am a little pissed that they enforce this policy across the board. Seems like they should look at my history with them, ship the cable out (2-3 days), and send a return shipping label (if they want the broken cable back). Now I am out another $40 and will need to pay to have the old cable shipped back to them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) I am sure once I bitch two or three times to them, they will refund me the $$$.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) I guess I expected more from PPARTS (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) then a guy reading from a policy handbook word for word. Lets hope this cable is made better then the last. |
