I have already attempted what you are trying. We were selling these for $100 rebuilt. However not all of them could be rebuilt sucessfully and eventually our core supply ran out. In the end I think it is better to buy it new. I sell these for $190 ($90 more than rebuilt) and they are VDO German (OE). That way you have a new part (while it is still available) that should last you another 10-15 years. At that point when they won't be available, then you will only have the rebuild option.
