Ahh thougt they would come... do you use them?? For me it's not the cost that is the problem, it,s the space in the car and the walk from the car to the customer, that make me use the bk drum

Not the cost? Really? Are they not 3 times the price of the black PCU like they are here?

The drums are exactly the same apart from the Harness the only reason the COL ones last longer is because blk is used more every copy it uses blk even if no blk is on the copy.

I haven't received any yet, but had a tech tell me he used one on a D029 (!!!) last week. He said he didn't have to swap wires on the harness, just filed down the connector to replace the cyan PCU.
