Title: Cleaned the scuttle area
Post by: Martin_1962 on 29 October 2007, 12:53:15

Just checked the car, and saw something shiney in the scuttle area.


Firstly cannot find the outlet on a facelift
Secondly all you need is a VAX :y

Looked like it had been blocked with straw

Had to remove the ECU to get the VAX end in there!

Washed through OK afterwards

Is this worth doing when my new scuttle panel arrives? *goes to find a how-to*

Only if it is clogged - you may even be able to get your arm in, but I couldn't find suitable wire at the time.

Not done water can get into the cars ventilation system and knacker the fan.

My LPG ECU could have been soaked as well :o

I use a length of electric cable - the kind for wiring a house which is quite stiff so you can bend it to shape.
