I don’t think you could realy test the module, the problem would only show up sometimes, you could test the fuel pump with a pressure gauge? 1 Quote

I think they either work or dont work, they have a circuit board. Have a feeling Bosch BIM024 are the aftermarket replacement? Quote
oldrx Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Has anyone successfully put bends in straight rubber heater hose? Thinking of filling section with sand, bending as tight as possible and baking in the oven something... Quote
chris r Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 @TimShadboltfan27 if injected re solder the man fuel relay. Super common for solder joints to dry out and have no start/intermettant start issues Should be up to l/h side by fuse box 2 Quote

They come in different sizes. 2 Quote

If the hose is fibre reinforced (the little stringy bits that hang out of the cut faces) then remoulding will be near impossible. 2 Quote

No they can cause a misfire sometimes that comes and goes, mine would play up some days or not at all, the replacement was about $280 I cannot remember what brand it was 1 Quote

What I have done before when I couldnt get a moulded hose was get the old hose and cut it open bend the new hose to shape then put new hose inside old hose and cable tie together. This helps hold new hose in correct shape. Not the greatest looking fix but works if your stuck. Mine was low pressure powersteering hose so didnt have the heat of a heater hose. Not sure if that will also affect it once its hot but if you get stuck give it a go. Quote

UTERUS Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Can you make the line out of steel and use wee silicone or rubber joiners at each end? Or go for a walk around pick a part/zebra for a hose the right shape. 1 Quote
tortron Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 L200club sport has steel ones and a nub of straight rubber hose at the end for joining Quote
oldrx Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Yeah was thinking maybe copper and use the hose to make rubber joiners 1 Quote

Nominal Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I'm charging a car battery with the cover off, and only 5 of the 6 cells are outgassing. I guess the 6th is shorted/rooted? Quote
Beaver Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Starter motors. Every so often mine makes a horrendous grinding/spinning noise and doesn't turn the motor. Sounds like it keeps spinning for a bit (like free spins) once I let the key off as well. Might do it once or twice and then just starts normally. Dodgy starter or something more serious? Quote

Could be the one way clutch in the starter. Quote
