Maybe, but in his neck of the woods could just be slow creeping rust too.Steve, his car is 23 years old. If the foam blocks were going to cause rust I would think they would have by now.

Dang, like I need another project. Thanks pal.Maybe, but in his neck of the woods could just be slow creeping rust too.

It was right at the top of the nipple on the injector furthest from the pump. When removing the other hoses, one broke off at the top of the nipple. Could just be a stress point.Between theninjectors? There are different formulations of Tyron with carrying diesel compatibility.
The coolant GP's will only draw about 33 amps total but I would wire it through a relay or solenoid instead of making it direct. You can use a momentary switch and then just hold it for the duration of the time you want them to run. If you wire it up any other way you'll forget and likely do some damage to them or other.i was looking for info to turn off the glow plugs after glow. where in VCDS and how do you turn off the after glow.
im not the biggest fan of most diesel emissions, and really see the elongated after glow as a current draw. id like to make my after glow about 30seconds after start.
im probably going to 'hot wire' my coolant glow plugs. seems wiring harness may be crumbling in places. going to have to improvise. get some wire and connectors, hardest part is getting wire into the dash. use a 90amp switch, just have to remember to turn off switch. hook up one connector to 'out' side of fuse, and other to 'out' wire. hopefully this will complete circuit. i ll get heat!
some info i came across about this made me think the after glow or post glow is extensive. the coolant glow plugs are limited to 1 glow plug in operation when post glow is active. it seemed the post glow could be for minutes and more. not just 45secs. which is ok. and with out my coolant glow plugs working, my temp doesnt even come up for more than 5minutes, maybe less than 10minutes driving time to get the gauge to register any heat. so in that case it sounded the post-glow may be extended, for engine heat and emissions. under 2300rpms the glow plugs could be active, with a cool engine.How is the operation of the post-start glow cycle a negative? I think anything that helps to build heat in these engines early on is a good thing.
it only lasts maybe 45 seconds max?
Correction, engine braking to neutral doesn’t disengage it, but that’s likely on the CC end. I’ll compare a couple of code blocks to the damos to see if I can find what parameter is responsible for this. There are over 2 dozen factors involved in CC operation.Found the literal bit to flip in a MSA15.5 tune to re-enable the clutch pedal. Yay, stubbornness! Side effects without this singular bit include depressing the pedal and cruise control staying on and if you switch to neutral while engine braking CC doesn’t disable either. Tapping the brake does turn it off like normal though.
What are the odds of that!
Yeah, that does not happen very often. At first I wasn't sure they were 'curbing' it but then when I went back it was shoved right to the edge of the street.*grabs a calculator*
Oh yeah, this is one of those rhetorical questions!
Fixed Cruise Control and it turns off when popping out of gear. I might make it more sensitive since I know what the function is, but I need to run the math on it first to see how much it matters.Correction, engine braking to neutral doesn’t disengage it, but that’s likely on the CC end.

I need to do something similar with mine. When I replaced my compressor I didn't drain the whole system and put a full 2 fl. oz. of PAG oil in. THe Bently does state an approximate fill volume of which components have what percentage of oil in them when things are cycled and I'm considering draining out the appropriate amount, drawing a vacuum, and then recharging it.Pulled the AC compressor, last night and drained it. It’s standing on end to allow everything to drain... I spin the hub every so often, to help it out.
Flushed the evaporator, tonight. Pulled out the spare o-rings, to be sure I had what was needed. Picking up some o-rings, that I ordered and the vacuum pump from Autozone, tomorrow. I always say I’m going to buy a vacuum pump, but I can’t warrant the spend, since renting is free.
