Because it’s CRAP. I went through 3 of these things from Rusty. Finally ordered real MB part (yes, it’s expensive) and it has worked flawlessly now for 3 years. Same with the aux pump. DO NOT order chinese versions. You WILL regret it. Jon On Mar 9, 2015, at 12:09 AM, Andrew Strasfogel

I bought one from Gary when he first started his parts business. It's still working well for however long that's been; 2, 3 years or more? IIRC the price was $30-$35. BTW, has anyone heard from Gary or ordered anything recently? I sent him an email and received no reply. Gerry Jon Agne wrote:

MTC brand, made in China? Avoid problems, order from MB Classic Center, restore heat, you will need it during the coming ice age. If you have faith in global warming, get the MTC with five year warranty, which should be long enough for the earth to warm up... -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87
