I've been noticing more and more Evo X customers getting jacked around by the dealership when it comes to the replacement of their ACD pumps. I want to prevent the growing frustration of the Evo X owners by handling this situation before it happens. This is a matter of when it happens- not if. The way the pump is assembled from the factory, it is going to have these problems, unless you live in AZ.

I've been seeing more and more motors go bad on these particular pumps due to the design, layout, placement, etc. This is not a good thing, because they are not rebuild-able once the motor takes a dump from the corrosion entering the housing. This means that the owner has to buy a second hand pump that is not guaranteed or spend a boatload of cash on a brand new unit. I personally don't like either option and I'm sure you guys feel the same.

What I would like to do is start a preventative maintenance program for all Evo X customers. This is a simple procedure that will have a great outcome for the future and leave the owner worry free of anything that may happen.

Here's how it works:
-Send me your pump minus hard metal lines and any metal brackets.
-Do send all solenoids, pressure sensor, reservoir with both rubber lines. (Please remove the solenoids and package them in a padded envelope) (I've seen shipping damage to the solenoids and that's not a good situation)
-I will run a diagnostic on all electrical portions of the pump and the pump itself
-I will then disassemble the pump, assess if it requires a kit and seal the pump to prevent any corrosion issues in the future. The sealant I use is the same sealant that Audi uses to seal and mate their aluminum engine blocks- it's good, very expensive and gets the job done the first time and for the last time.
-I will run a full diagnostic on your pump after I'm done- this checks pressure of the motor, motor with solenoids activated, and solenoid function.
-I will then send your freshly sealed pump back to you free of charge.

Pricing:
- Re-seal, no kit required, pre-test, post test, inspection, shipping $349.99
- Re-seal, kit required, pre-test, post test, inspection, shipping $599.99 ($50 off normal rebuild pricing)

I will email pictures to each customer showing the condition of their pump, internals of the pump, motor, etc so there is no doubt on what should be done.

I hope people will take advantage of this offer because I really do believe that it will reduce major headaches, phone calls, frustration, etc.
