    Need Advice

    Hey, so i bought a rebuilt m20 oil pump from adams autosport on December 3rd. After a couple weeks i checked in and he said that the oe oil pump gears ran out in the US so he had to source them from Germany (completely understandable, bmw part sourcing sucks as time goes on). The problem is that ive tried to get updates twice since and i haven't gotten any replies. I looked on the adams autosport website and it looks like you cant purchase the oil pumps anymore. Anyway, im wondering what i should do next... P.s i used the wrong "there" i know.

    How did you pay? Paypal? Most of these online payment processors have a sort of buyer protection. If the seller is not responding, open a claim and they will often reward the seller, especially if no shipping tracking information is not dispatched.

        How long has it been since you reached out to Andrew himself? He is one of the most standup guys I know. No need to go through Paypal.

          Well i messaged him on the 7th and 2 days ago with no replies. He seems like a stand up dude on the forums and I dont mean to give anyone a bad rep. i did however spend almost $300 on an oil pump and to not see any shipping estimates or confirmation emails is unnerving.

            Be a little more patient. I also know Adam and he is super stand up. Keep in mind he has another full time job.

              Well end thread. No hard feelings for Andrew and i hope that something as crucial as oil pump gears doesn't go nla. I bought a lasso oil pump on ebay last night which should be here friday.
