Aftermarket FSU?

[John_D]

Anyone got experience with aftermarket FSUs
Mine has finally crapped itself altogether and I want air asap.

I was looking at this:

http://www.bmparts.co.uk/product-heater-final-stage-resistor-fsu.html

It's only £20 odd pounds on eBay

I know I'll be flamed for suggesting a non-oem part but I'm really tight this month.

It comes with a 1year warranty so can't be all that bad surely??

I bought an ebay one last year but tried and failed to fit it, my heaters are fine right now
but I had planned fitting it at some stage. Was €30 or so iirc.

Used an aftermarket one from the uk on my old E36 with no issues

Used one on the e39 and worked no issues, bought it from AlanD so dunno where it came from but was defo not an oem part, 25euro rings a bell

Otto sell a Febi one. Not sure on price but worth a call. I fitted a non OE one to an E39 before as supplied by the customer and it ended up burning out the interior fan. Never again would I fit a non OE one as it was a full dash out job!

Personally based on my own experiences that is the only fsu I would fit.
Aftermarket but still original...
