Title: Secondary Air pump woes.
Post by: Sixstring on 04 October 2010, 14:21:36

When I first got my 3.0 elite, the little SAI pump in the front wing area never came on on startup. Now, it comes on EVERY time I start up.
Is something wrong?

Or is it because the climate is now different with colder mornings?

Or am I being paranoid, and should disconnect the bloody thing now?

TIA

Mike.

(p.s. apparently I havent heard it work before.....)

Reach underneath.  The plug is fiddly to get to as it is on-top (ish) of the pump, but easy to unplug.

Just dont unplug your horns, else you wont be able to attract the attention of the local totty whist being 'SLUTTY'  :P

Whenever I see it, I always see 'SLUTTY'  Must be my vulgar mind at play.  ;D

Tyres.  Well, Still havent sorted this rather misfire, and until I do, I dont know how much money I need to throw at the thing.  Which means, I dont know how much I can afford to get some decent tread on it.  I may have to keep these Ling-Langs on until they need replacing.  :'(
