I’ve read the posts about opening up the Auxiliary Air unit, and I have one that I’ve opened for a 2.0 D-Jet.
My problem is the wIre. Mine is broken off, way up inside the casting. Is there a way to reattach it? Any tips on what to do or not do? |

Is there a way to reattach it? Any tips on what to do or not do? I had an AAR with intermittent short and tried to peel back the portion of the steel ferrule that covers the wire when it exits the main body. I did this using a lathe and I still failed to get an acceptable fix that I would trust. I eventually disassembled the whole thing just to see what was inside. Not very promising to fix if it broke off up inside that ferrule. ![]() Mabye someone else has good advice for us. AA has "rebuilt" units but pricey at $285+200 for core. Here was someone that succeeded. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=70865&hl= |

On another note, does anyone else find the Search function lacking? I don’t have much luck finding what I’m looking for. |
