woosh

(1/5) > >>

jamesledingham:
I've taken the 90 into the garage today to have the brakes done. I aksed them about the woosh of air I get when I open the diesel cap.

They've just told me it's a problem with the diaphragm (sp?) in the fuel injector and that basically I need a new diaphragm as all the turbo is being sent back into the tank and may make the tank explode.

Anyone else experienced this? Will it have meant an increase in fuel consumption and decrease in power?

Ben:
Last time this happened to me it was the breather pipe on the fuel tank that was blocked. Granted this was on a citroen 2cv a good few years ago, but might be worth a try before spending money trying to fit new bits right left and centre!

Cheers

Ben

jamesledingham:
I've been down there to see them and they're adament that it's what they said. The diaphragm in the pump.

I think it is actually blowing rather than sucking as I've had diesel blown onto me before!

Evilgoat:
Shold still vent through the breather.

Personally that explaination sounds like bollards but I dont know the defender setup.

leo:
how much are they trying to charge you for it to be done ?
