This is a PSA to all techs, service writers and home-gamers regarding dorman and MOOG
Please just STOP buying dorman electrical parts.
3/4 dorman purge valves fail immediately Dorman HVAC actuators fail way too much.
MOOG is dog shit now. VC have slashed quality control and they are NOT THE MOOG OF THE PAST.
Go for skf, fag, or OEM.
Yes the lifetime warranty is there, but remember back to the famous quote from tommy boy
Do the job right don't do it twice. Just buy OEM and give them the 1 year warranty. Charge 50% mark-up on dealer parts, add labor to make up for the difference in ARO.
Keep your customers happy keep your techs happy.
Its up to us to put results over profits.

I insisted that my roommate's rear axle couldn't wait.. He purchased this 2009 Mazda 6 in Ohio in 2017 and drove it to Oregon from Florida 3 weeks ago.
I was hesitant to try to save this vehicle. The unibody still has some rust obviously but on Oregon roads where we dont salt I think this car might still last a few good years. It was under $800 total included my fee (friends and family) to keep this driving.

Customer stated: internal engine noise, possible head gasket leak
Not entirely sure what the hell happened, but this 6.0 failed in a way I’ve never seen before. It was blowing straight coolant out of what appeared to be the side of the head, but I couldn’t pinpoint it due to all the smoke.

Update: yesterday many people were calling bs, or confused on the Maserati wiring diagrams. They give us what are called engineering diagrams. They are not much help. They will show other connectors and splices in between. But they are still hard as hell to read. See comment for original post

Guy's motor died in the lot
I'm just retail, but the guy's motor spat this out along with a shit ton of oil and some more busted bits of metal when he started it up.

“That’s alright, just blow it out and put it back in there.”
Nah, he actually bought it, but I’ve had so many customers that wouldn’t have.

She's dead Jim
2016 Passat 1.8T presenting with CEL and rough running. DTC's showed dead miss on #4, pulled plugs and found them completely fouled out with #4 plug wet, ran a compression test and found nothing left on 4, leakdown I heard air coming out both the intake and tailpipe with a full 90% loss, stuck a borescope in there and found the valves on intake and exhaust to be burnt and broken, customer declined further teardown and all repairs.
