Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,899 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
Two parts in question:
0122.129.637 - rubber elbow. I have eleven of these things, garnered through the years (6 new, 5 used). My parts manual indicates these are for 1.8's (I have a 1.7). Do they have a use on 1.7's? I couldn't find a link. Sorry, no pic's - my camera battery is dead. Fuel rails - "fuel distributors", as the factory calls them - four spares (old). Started trying to clean up one of these today. Really uglt on the outside, but cleaned up OK. Then I realized that when I flushed water thru it, the water was going straight thru & not bleeding out of the injector inlets. Did some soaking (internal) with Naval Jelly & routed it out as best I could with a pipe cleaner. Lots of rust (maybe) or fuel residue (maybe) came out in chunks. Imagine hooking these up to your injectors! So, how do I rout this gunk out (I suspect it's rust)? Exterior cleaned up nicely (pic's when the camera comes back to life). Any ideas? I have a Dremel, with no flex wand (excuse to buy one?) but not certain it would fit. Pat |

Berryman's B9. AKA cancer in a bucket. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
It does the job, but try not to breathe it and never even open it indoors. FLAPS stands for Friendly Local Auto Parts Store. I think you'd have to go to a hazardous waste dump to get rid of it, but it's so potent that for occasional use it would last a lifetime. Heck, for heavy use it'd last a lifetime too, because you wouldn't live very long! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
