A good SA should also check the car before handing it to you. In my recent case, the issues were not QC issues but were PDI issues missed by PDI and the SA. I won't bore you with the details.I've been in manufacturing before and I know that a small percentage of product does leave the door with defects, albeit usually not fatal. In this respect, the Japs seem to have the best QC, of that there is no doubt. The Europeans are not perfect. My CBUs with problems were European CBUs, and included a part falling off and bouncing on the road in my rearview mirror and snapped timing belt. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />meinauto's statistical point is valid. Given the percentages, I just don't see the point of paying the heavy duties for CBUs...</blockquote>
