Volks, I sent Dieter the whole file that I circulated earlier about cleaning the AFM, he had not opened it when he sent that email. Now he has because he emailed me. I will send him a picture showing him where the AFM is located and direct him to pictures of the inside of the AFM. I have encourage him to post a detailed description to the list telling exactly what his symptoms are so that one of you who is more knowledgeable than I can help him trouble shoot the van. I have also encouraged him not to just keep doing one thing and then another until he writes this post and gets responses. I am afraid he is going to make things worse before he can get some informed help because he is so upset and desperate to get a car running so he can work. (Understandable, but not the basis of good repair practices.) So, I'll do this part and then hopefully he will help himself with a good post to the list. Bye for now, Sam Walters |
