Morning Minimatics,
Hope all are well.
Can anyone provide any knowlege on what to know, what questions to ask and pit falls when purchasing a used AP2 box?
How long can a box sit "dry" before it would need a rebuilt?
This type of thing?
Any advice or thoughts appreciated.
Enjoy the long weekend, hopefully I will get a Hel Performance front subframe braided brake line kit fitted and front suspension upgrade complete.
cheers R

Unless you can witness the box installed and in full operation, you need to be prepared to rebuild it. Sitting dry raises lots of questions. Is it on the shelf at a reputable shop with warranty?

It is best to see it working properly after 30 minutes of driving otherwise you will need to assume there is a good chance it will need work.
Stored dry is not good but even with oil means half the components will be dry so neither is good. I would consider any that haven't been used regularly to be bad.
I have one which sat 15 years and doesn't work now. I haven't pulled it apart yet to find the damage.
