Hi, do you know how long the system needs to operate after the engine start (to move the flap from the control unit) ? Is it possible to access to the vaccum accumulator ? How to check it ? Many thanks
Mine is pretty quick - just a few seconds. The coffee can looking vacuum accumulator is typically accessed I believe through the left rear wheel well, removing the wheel and splash guard. I imagine other than a visual isnpection for leaks, I'd get a standard vacuum gauge from a parts shop and see if it held vacuum. I suppose you could also fit a t to the system to see if there was a leak I have attached a highly sophisticated diagram made at great expense to illustrate: Image Unavailable, Please Login
In a 3.2 coupe it is right under the oil cooler Told you it looked like a coffee can. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Many thanks Snj5... Now, i'm sure, the precedent owner had removed it... I don't find it in my engine bay, morover, under my oil cooler... So i have to find it ...
