https://www.v.me/ Let me start by suggesting a service from V.Me.�� I will come back.�� My water pump in my 87 westy went south on me again.�� This is my third about every 7 years like the 7 year itch.�� The first was replaced with a busdepot failed with a bad seal.�� The second with a bosch bought locally because I was in a hurry and this failed with a bad bearing.�� Bad bearing is worse than a bad seal so I purchased another from busdepot and purchased hoses to replace new with those next to the pump and cooler.�� I am finding that the hose from the reservoir to the pump has gone obsolete with VW not available with Ron but Ken seems to still have a few.�� Ron seems to be growing to fast these days and I have found errors in the last three orders I have placed with him.�� He still has very good prices but the phones are too busy to try to fix any errors.�� The hose from the cooler to the pump pipe was not the part I ordered so I ordered it from the local VW.�� A part that Ron could have supplied if not for the error was 8x higher at VW and when V.me alerted me to a 24 dollar charge for a 3 dollar hose?�� I called and tried to stop the charge?�� During my pump installation found a power steering hose that appears failing and choose to go with vanagon caf� for a replacement tacking on the missing hose from Ron at addition 4 dollars.�� We are lucky to have so many vendors for our aging machines and we should continue to support them all.�� Gary
