A different boss, or the filler-boss then? OK, I posted at the same time!

OK, thanks, tank off next job probably. Another question, my old AJ6 auto had a dipstick tube to check g/box fluid level, this one doesn't so when I replaced the filter & oil, I had to fill via that soppy little level-plug. Do you think its possible to fit the earlier type dip-stick tube etc...

That'll do for me then. 👍 Anyone had the air-tank off, 'cos, as I'm getting on for 80, I want to know what I'm letting myself in for. Also got to scramble under anyway to replace the track rod, crawling about is difficult nowadays. :confused:

Thanks, put my mind at rest, I started to think 'now what' !!

When I got the Nanocom, I got this reading on the EDC section, cleared it, but it never did, its there all the time. Now I just did the 'pump-fix', I assumed things would have changed, the engine SEEMS to run perfect, but when I just tried the Nanocom again, tried again to clear, but no, it...

Rebuilt compressor & valve block fills tank to 145psi from empty in about 12-15 mins. I fitted a ball-valve on the main out from the valve block, then a gauge, then another ball-valve. Once pressurised, the car goes from access to high in about 5-6 seconds & stays up for at least a week, BUT...

I was surprised at how much I had to spin the pump though, it was about 7-8mm towards the engine!!

Just received a few mtrs of 3mm rubber hose, replaced everywhere I could, fired her up, instant start, but to be honest, its no different to me, there's no trace of smoke, even when its revved up, so I'm happy with that. Re-checked modulation again, at 96c its fluctuating between 50-52% now, I...

All back together, fired up instantly, & before, if I blipped the throttle/ revved it up, there was a bit of smoke, now however, no smoke at all!! So SOMETHING has changed, According to scribe mark I put on the FIP, its move about 7mm. Does re-timing the pump modulation do away with hot start...

Also, whilst manifold is off, I found this mystery pipe, it looks like its broke off from something, there's a metal pipe from a circular casing on front of the rocker-box, it sweeps around under the manifold, to a short length of rubber hose, then this very small hose come from it, doubles...

Just managed to 'do' the Datatek fuel-modulation fix, got it to measure between 49.2 & 50.4, ticking over, warm, is that acceptable? Also, whilst the manifold is off, I can see that the dash-switch mod ( presumably a hot-start fix ) goes to the foremost of the 2 temp senders in the head, so now...

Isn't it amazing just what a few of them 'volt' things & a little bit of 'lektrickery' can do, new battery early this morning, charged for 7 hours, fitted, turned key & its running before I could let go of the key, been getting many various electrical probs of late, locking & unlocking randomly...

Yes, that's the plan.

Well there's still the switch in binnacle that has a couple of wires that go under the manifold to a sensor in the head, not too sure yet as to its wiring until I can get to it to see.

Whilst awaiting replacement battery due Monday, I noticed white battery powder in the battery box mount holes, nothing under the battery so it must have been there for ever, anyway, I removed the box after pulling the engine ecu & other stuff, to wash everything in that area. I noticed a...

Will do, but I already know that there's over 14v from the alternator when running as I tested before. Expected Monday.

Well it looks like you guys have come up trumps yet again with the correct answer regarding the battery1 On a good quality charger all night, showed 100% this morning, on the car, slow turnover followed by a click. Took it round the corner to the auto-store, drop-test .....FAIL!! Contacted the...

Yes 12mm it is, I assume the manifold still has to be removed??

Bought brand new 14 months ago

OK, but this is my old-ready charged Passat battery just now, so I don't think its far out.
