Subject: Need HELP in creating the schematic for the Idle Stabilisator
Control Unit...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Hi all,
I am currently in the process of creating a diagram and document which will
detail this crazy little device, and show the various internal components.
My goal is that all of us can open ours up, and diagnose it a bit... and
replace some pieces and get it running again.
I have gotten some good info from the German lists here, but need of course
all the help I can get.
If any of you have a defective part for me to dismantle it would certainly
help (as you can only really read the numbers on hte transistors and diodes
once they are removed).
What I would like is the part 251 907 393 D (but also in the meantime would
settle for the A, B, or C versions too).
I will be glad to pay via PayPal or other means to cover shipping and a bit
extra for the effort. You can ship the unit to my USA address and I will
have it sent along to me here.
Once my diagram is ready, or has some substantial info in it, I will of
course post it to the list, and on my website.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Is it the valve or control unit your speaking about ? The valve is
repairable if it is just sticking. If you do need the valve I have two good
used ones. Pmail me for details. If it is the control unit behind the RH
tail light. That's another story. I think <A

these. I'm currently trying to repair some defective ones I have here but
no
luck so far.
