Feedback on Febi Harmonic Balancer?

maddog2020 · 07-14-2017, 09:51 PM

Any feedback from people using the Febi version of the crankshaft pulley?

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-febi-par...238511371~feb/

It's less than half the price of the OEM part. Anyone using it? Issues?

Thanks,

Ian

Tons of people using febi. I'd say it's probably the most common one used for replacement

I have a couple of thousand miles on it. So far so good.

The febi I got from fcp (price matched to ecs) was the oem one, fwiw.
I'm not sure of the ecs febi.

ECS febi was definitely not OEM, but I have about 1k miles on mine, no problem.

I would have ordered from FCP, but they were out of stock when I did mine and could not wait for shipping from CA

I doubt febi is making the dampers any differently between the new ones and the oem marked ones.

Ian,

How long did it take for you to get yours from ECS? They have it listed as "direct-ship" with no quoted time in transit.

Mine was shipped same day, priority USPS. Would have taken two days had USPS not screwed up and took 4 :<(

I price-matched ECS at FCP. This took me into the week-end. Parts shipped out of FCP on Tuesday morning and arrived at my house in SC on Thursday afternoon via UPS.
