Throttle actuator rebuild



Has anyone used this service and had their actuators rebuilt? Customer care, quality, and workmanship experience?

Call me crazy, but I was thinking of buying new OEM actuators and send them in to them to rebuild them with the metal gears and send my old ones in for a core deposit if they will do that.

I’ve heard from reputable bmw performance shops that the Evolve rebuilt ones have had problems, but one can say just the same for the OEM ones too so taking that with a grain of salt.

That’s good they got that in the U.K. Just got an email back from the shop I posted about and said they are happy to rebuild new ones with the upgraded parts and will accept the cores. Might be a good option when the time comes.

Can second that comment. I got mine from Rebuild UK, quick delivery with not too expensive postage cost (to Australia) so would be similar postage to USA

Question now is do I go with this rebuild from the UK or the Evolve ones. I trust Evolve because they have dune great products out but worth looking into other options.
