Q Drive Lemforder or MB

[Silver_Star]

Would be interesting to see what our ECP rep has to say on this. - Surely they are not fit for purpose if the majority of Q Drive parts don't even last 12 months.

And you want to try sending it back! They aren't interested unless you fitted a new rack and all new pipes and hoses at the same time. I guarantee they will find a fictitious speck of dirt in it and blame you for poor fitting.

Hmm... don't know but I fitted Q-drive engine mounts on my W210 300TD over an year ago and they are still as good as new.. they came boxed and printed on it was "Made in Germany"?

"Made in Germany"?

Means little these days. Many Mercedes are made in Germany and we know what they're like!

The ECP rep on this site should get roasted for these Q Drive parts. Refund me £200 first. Q Drive are not fit for purpose and below trading standards.

Maybe the box was printed in Germany?

Loads of German cars have parts made in the UK. The Bugatti Veyron's engine had UK design influence.

UK is Germany's biggest trading partner these days and the reverse is true. UK high tech is amongst the best in the world in many fields.

Er, why did I start this ....

All those F1 teams must be here for something.

I think a lot of problems occur when parts suppliers state "oem quality"
a lot of "oem quality" parts are indeed not!

Don't fit Q drive what ever you do..... squeak squeak squeak. Out of curiosity, I disected their front control arm and inside the bush there are 2 plastic bungs which rub against the aluminium casing.

I post a couple of pictures on an earlier thread, but can't find it now.
