Need part number, the dealer laughed at me...

[Cobra]

when I asked for a transmission vent cap for my 89 535iA ZF 4HP 22/24. They said that you only get those when you buy a new tranny. WTF?

Do you guys have a part number for this little plastic vent? I broke mine while cleaning it. Thanks.

Take care,
Dan

[brosher]

no but realoem.com

[Cobra]

Yeah, tried that but it does not show anywhere in the diagrams.

Take care,

dealers are retards. I havent bought anything from a dealer in 3 years.

[Cobra]

True but I had to get a shaft seal so I figured I'd get the vent too, silly me.

Okay, how come I can't see Bill R's reply? I see his name with an attachment, but I can't access the message.

There is a tiny line after his name in the message; click on it. He has the part number in the message.

not sure why you can't see it, but..........

p/n = 24 11 1 205 976

maybe the parts guy was thinking about something funny when he laughed ;)

Thanks Alpinewhite. Man that tiny line got me.

He was thinking about the last customer and all the other customers this week he ripped off. you should go in and say do you have this part no. oh yeah? then tell him you'll get it from BMA and laugh in his face.

[Cobra]

That part doesn't look like the part that I took out. The part is a beige coloured cylindrical piece about an inch long with a little cap on top. It goes in this hole .... (I borrowed this pic from a member)

Thanks you guys, you were right. Went to the dealer armed with part number in hand and got what I needed. The guy wanted to know how/where I got the part number fom, I just laughed and left :p

DanThey're not called stealers for nothing... first they steal your sense, then they steal your wallet. After they have that, they take other things for the fun of it... part numbers may seem like silly things to steal, but Stealers are so twisted... they simply have no perspective left with which to balance their sick humour... :| Nick

ROTFLMAO :D You guys crack me up.

Take care,

DanWait till you next get to a dealer and they tell you the pair of bushings you want are $600, or are triple what they used to be... or are 10x what they should be... (!) LOL
