Review on URO Parts BM M54PCVKIT Breather Hose by Tim Wadman

Fakes in white box

Well I expected better quality. Cheap, poor quality fakes that needed modification to work without problems in the future. For example, the o-rings on the ends of each quick connector were not the right size, they were too large in diameter and too thin in diameter. Luckily I had the right size lying around in my tool box. Even after plugging it in, I wasn't sure I had a good print. "They usually click together and make a nice clicking sound. Well, there's no sound or clicking sensation." But luckily I have a smoke machine. I checked the integrity of this kit's sealing abilities. I noticed a little puff of smoke, so I'm taking each joint apart again. And added some silicone to each joint to ensure a guaranteed fit. And again I check my work a second time. And all is well. It costs extra time to repair, using non-genuine parts would cost money when working on a customer's car. See, what happens when you try to save a buck also i spent extra money on shipping to get it the next day they shipped half the order so it looks like i got it on time, so I miss the extra $11 for fast shipping.I'm a professional mechanic and I broke my own rule trying to fix a pair of D ollar to save for cheap Chinese junk. I justified this repair with a chariot, even a family member's car. who has no money. Remember you get what you pay for. In the end everything is good. My suggestion is to buy genuine parts from a BMW dealer, it's a lot cheaper and cheaper in the long run.
