Question for worried 2.5 auto owner - VIS motors - Page 2

Boz75 · 12th October 2007, 23:03

The car was on the T4 a few weeks ago when i bought it. They had already changed the belts and the thermostat housing. But they found fault codes for the cooling fan so i had that changed too. I also got them to change the breather pipe as part was cracked. All before i bought it.

I will ask for old parts back, i always do. I have an old 3 spd fan amongst other things in my garage at home.

Thanks
Ross

If you don't need that I'm sure either Keith or Julesbass is after one for some experimental testing.

If someone wants the fan they can have it, I have no use for it anymore. The high speed still works on it too.

Tried the screw driver trick this morning and found the noise to be coming from the left side of the manifold very near the little box structure where i think the Vis motor is. Could just be a coincidence though.

I took it to the garage and the service manager lifted the bonnet and lo and behold no noise. Just the gentle pattering of the injectors smooth as you like. Typical.

Anyway i have ordered a new VIS motor cos they are comparitively cheap and if i follow the instructions on here i am sure i will be able to fit it myself. It will work out cheaper than a session on the diagnostic.

Thanks
Ross
