I didn't mean to imply that it COULDN'T happen, just that it's one of the last 
things that I would suspect.  

I guess one of my pet peeves is the routine replacement of perfectly good 
parts, especially when it leads to throwing away a GOOD OE part only to replace 
it with a cheap, poor quality part. I realize that there's a down side to my 
attitude, however: If no one ever replaced their condensers, Bosch would stop 
making replacements, and that would eventually hurt a lot of people.
