    This is UNBELIEVABLE

    I have been a member of audizine for a few years. I have bought some things thru the forums, but 3-4 months back a bought a throttle body for a 99 A4 2.8. The guy assured me it was the correct part and in proper working order. Being I am not equipped to install a throttle body, and the fact that I had a super busy summer, the job did not get done. This weekend I found the time to drop my car at my S4/A4 specialist to get the job done. The throttle body sat in the box the gentleman shipped it in. When my mechanic took it out of the box, he called me to tell the part was broken. He did not go into detail, other than to tell me that it had to have been broken before it was put in the box for shipping. The part that was broken off was included in the box, like it was an extra part. I guess I am just venting here, I am just a bit pissed that I have wasted time, money and effort. I would be directly PMing the party who "unknowingly" sent me damaged goods, but I don't know his email or audizine username. Thanks for any reading. For those of you selling solid, working parts, this doesn't refer to you.
