Hi All,

 

The test for the air reg in the manual says to clamp the hose just in front of it and see if the revs drop. Problem is I just can't get at the hose immediately before the air reg/just after the IAA and the run is too short to clamp effectively anyway. I clamped it just before the IAA as this was easier to get at - sure enough revs dropped to zero.

 

My question is: Will the test work when clamped before the IAA or will it give a false reading??

 

AndyDuff! Surely you must have an opinion! (PS I haven't forgotten I still owe you for wheels).

 

Anyone got a spare Air regulator knocking around?

 

Cheers!

Whats the latest on this Rob?

Hi James,

 

I came to the conclusion that it needs to be done in between IAA and Air regulator. Rather than relying on the test which I wasn't too confident about, I removed the Air reg, IAA etc and gave the whole lot a thorough clean and inspection. Although the manual specifies the test I couldn't find a 'real' reference to it...

 

It all looked pretty good but I have a feeling my main prob was the electrical connector on the Air regulator - cleaned up the contacts, reassembled and idle improved somewhat. I reset the base idle and it's now stable-ish. I think I still have some air leaks in the turbo/intake system which ain't helping...

 

BTW - removing the Air reg is a huge PITA!!

 

Cheers!
