When you buy a good used RS2 maf....

[bartolomeus]

I've sent 99% of my quattro stuff to RXL for better resale value in Germany. Also the MAF was sent to him.
RXL sent you the MAF and I am sorry I don't know what happened but that is not the MAF we sent you.
Also RXL is saying that is not the MAF he packed.
Also my question also, why did you mention this now after several months?

[cardcrash]

No damage to package, the hole was covered with black silicone sealer of sorts, thats why I didnt see it in the initial photos as sent by the seller

Well there's a mystery that needs solving

[rxl]

Well I'm and Bart are honest people. I can send you another one only for the shipping price

Well these are the pictures of the maf that I'm willing to send you for only shipping price. The other one that was not so good you can keep.. Just to be clear contact the seller first if some **** comes up... And do not do that after 2 months of shipping...

Well you can't be any fairer than that...

I know whenever I've dealt with any South African members they've warned me that couriers out there are notoriously corrupt and stuff often goes missing or gets tampered with. I sent a cross-member to someone years ago that took months to arrive and was finally delivered in different packaging.

Well to be honest I'm not really happy with the situation but honestly why can't you contact the seller before posting this thread?? It's not really hard to solve it...

I agree, I wouldn't be very happy if I was you either. As you say why didn't Voodoo contact you straight away as any damaged could claimed for on the couriers insurance???

I've sure I'm dealt with Bart in the past and had no problems at all. You've both been on here for years and I find it hard to believe you would have sent an item in that condition without mentioning it first.

[rxl]

Well to clear the situation the buyer of the maf can get a used maf that I just removed from my rs2.. Plus shipping.. Or just get a 50 procent off..

Yes, I worked with an Australian engineer on the boats who lived in South Africa and he also told me about the perils of the postal system there. He wouldn't ever send anything of value through the post. He said it was horrendously corrupt, sh*t goes missing all the time. Must be a nightmare!

I can prove that Bart with RXL are really good people, specially like friends, buyers, sellers - 100% guarantee!

[Classix]

so it`s not problem of sellers, it is shipping problems.
next time take a guarantee from mail, dhl, fedex or something.

It was only posted now, as per previous threads, with our poor postal service, I only received it yesterday, hence my apprehension to send it back for an exchange, it'll take 4-6 months before I get another.

Its a pity I didn't take photos of the p!ss poor attempt at plugging the hole with black goop/glue whatever, clearly done before shipping.

The fact remains, I asked for advise on repairing a part that was broken before it was shipped, that I got.

As for the rest of the comments, not much to be gained from that

[rxl]

Well to be honest do that repair it just send it back and you get what's in the pictures

Something I should have done, is inspect the photos I was sent better.
Zoom in on this one, you can clearly see a buildup of black goop.
