plenum clearer

jaygee · 3rd August 2008, 18:04

for anyone looking for a tool to clear the plenum drains.... i use the drain cleaner from the pound shop cut down to 4foot it is perfect for the job as can be coiled up for storage and always goes straight on uncoiling..

4 foot is an ideal length so it goes through and leaves plenty to hold onto...

you should be able to get 2 tools from one drain cleaner
(aprox 9foot long)

can you get this one easily into the drivers side one?

there is one under servo on drivers side (which i have not found)and one on passenger side under the plenum cover ..
if you cant find it you can unblock them from underneath one at either side..
look in the how to forum for plenums it is all documented there with very good instructions and advice...

Don't worry about the servo one, both drain the same chamber. Just keep the PS one clear and you will be OK.

I use a piece of 5mm flex from some cooker cable. Never had a problem finding the servo side drain, even though you can't see it.

When I get out of hospital I will attempt to make a video/photo how-to.
