Yes, stay away from DeutscheParts, and their "Hamburg Technic" parts line. I bought a Boxster water pump from them which (like all of their parts) is listed on Ebay as OEM. They did not mention the "Hamburg Technic" brand name on Ebay, probably because of its very poor reputation. Just Google "Hamburg Technic" to see what I mean. When I received the pump, it was clear that the metal impeller that they were so proud of was just a blantant copy of the original plastic impeller, but cast in metal. It even had the same mold marks as the stock plastic impeller.

The only positive thing I can say about them is that they promptly refunded my money (less shipping) when I sent the part back, still new in the box. They know exactly what they are doing: they provided the refund by voiding my Ebay purchase, presumably so that I could not leave any feedback on the shaky brand name and poor quality of the part.
