But the price for 2 whole new VDO is arround 1250 usd, so double costs. Is still better to invest half price 637usd for a refurbishment?
The rebuilt units have a warranty. In North America FCP Euro will warranty the new units. If there is a supplier in Europe that will warranty the new units then the cost differential is the main factor to consider. If you put in new units without a warranty then eventually they will need to be replaced again. If you still own the car then you'll have to pay for another set.
