Subject: who wants to apply for BB expert re-solder expert? Author: shogun (moderator) : member since March, 2004 : 16310 posts Posted on: 2006-01-25 02:02:40

I brought up this idea on the German 7-Forum some months ago and that is now established.
Often people are hesitating to solder electrics/electronics or do not have the capability or the tools and destroy very expensive parts.
Just to mention: LKM, GM, RM. mustard relay, dash cluster capacitors, IHKA control panel and module, ECU's, heater sword and many more things like switches without light or modifications of switches to design with LED's.

Even buying a reman part from the more known companies is not cheap.
The person should have experience in soldering and have the right equipment.
Of course it should not be for free, people could pay a small amount to him for his time and work. But that will still be cheaper than from the reman suppliers or new parts.
Ideal would be that this person would have a stock of checked and resoldered parts available for swopping. So people could even send their old defective ones in an get immy a new one in exchange.
Precondition should be, that people do not try to solder by themselves first and then send it to that expert when there is no hope to repair it.
The person should not be made responsible if a repaired part is still not working or is unrepairable, so no guarantee like in normal business. Also he should not be made responssible to replace a part free of charge if someone claims that he destroyed the part while trying to repair it.
Ideal would be a list (form) which has to be filled out with details of the probs.
That is all I can do from my side, just to have the idea. But you guys in the US have to make it work if you want to.
In Germany it works. So why not on this board.
For a starter I even could sell this person at a special price almost all modules I have for E32 750 and others. I have complete sets of EML, MOTRONIC's for 750 till abt 1990 (pre-facelift), ABS control units, LKM, GM, RM, sword (Behr), IHKA control panel (w/o AUC), throttling vales, MAF, cluster cpl. (but only with kmh indication), trans modules and you name it.
