I have a low milage, condition 1-, 1988 Mazda 626 GT turbo Touring Sedan that I bought new. I need the fuel level sending unit as it is unique to the GT. I have disassembled and stored the parts for 31 1988-92 Mazda 626s, though not all were GTs. In every instance the fuel had ruined the sending unit. I sent my best one to Bob's Speedometer along with a similiar unit from a sedan with a request that they rewind the good resistance wires from the sedan unit onto the GT's unit but at the proper winding rate. The sedan wires are long enough to do this. During 15 months of calling I was stalled and lied to repeatedly. Calling a man a liar is a serious accusation to me, but one day I was told by the man on the phone that when he was walking around Hershey, he had seen a part that looked like it could be used to repair mine. I aasked him to describe it. He said he did not remeber what it looked like because he sees so many parts every day. I they asked how he knew it when he saw it. He was never able to give me any answer. Several weeks later I go my unit in the mail. They had simply screwed the donor unit I send to the GT assembly. As I recall they charged me several hundred dollars for something I could have done in literally one minute. My calls after that were never returned. Frankly, my suspicions are that over the years they have no doubt done exemplary work on 1930s Packards, etc. but I as founder of a 57 year old business, I sense that their operation has descended into bedlam with more work than they can handle.
I hate to rant, but perhaps I can save someone else a few hundred dollars. And, if by that one in a million long **bleep** any one can help me, pease contact me! thomphillips@mindspring.com. MayBe I'll even hear from Bob's! If I do, I will let you all know...
