355 F1 Relay Part Numbers

Bumping this thread.

I upgraded my relay about 5 years ago.
Yesterday I noticed something strange that I don’t know if it’s related.

Drove car three weeks ago.
Two days later, checked fluid level cold
Fluid level was way low
Topped up to correct level cold
Three weeks later, canister overflowing !

Once primed during my drive three weeks ago, System obviously didn’t return fluid to canister in the usual amount of time (over night). Rather, held onto fluid for extended period of time making me think the level was low.

Anyone else experience this ?
And I am aware of the factory method for measuring the level while system is primed.
In 5 years of ownership I’ve never experienced this.

Entire clutch system gone through and replaced a year ago.

I don’t hear pump running either. No leaks.

 

Thanks. It’s weird, but I’m sure not a issue. Just be less OCD and quit looking at it.

 

Unlikely it is electrical. It would need to cycle the pump to keep the pressure up and that would kill the battery (and you would here it)

Pretty sure nothing else is really controlled electrically on the hydraulic pressure side.

 

Thanks Watson. Maybe after my complete overhaul of the F1 clutch system, it’s super duper sealed up and holds pressure indefinitely.

 

I have to look, but is there a check valve in the system between the tank and the pump?

If there is, and they put in a new one, it would do exactly as you described...and I may need to do the same.

 

All that was changed was everything to do with the clutch. Clutch, flywheel, throw out bearing, F1 Sensor and related seals.
