Re: my previous post about RPM increase
https://forum.ih8mud.com/diesel-tech-24-volts-systems/261832-unexplained-increase-rpm.html
The ACSD seems to be the likely culprit. I have done a bit more diggin and it seems that when the thermal wax inside the ACSD fails, it retains the high RPM and the timing advance even after the engine is fully warmed up and that is exactly what I am having after a few exceptionally cold weeks.
Now, I have a few questions and appreciate your input before I go ahead and remove it :
1- Where this mysterious device is located exactly? I know it is on the outside of the IP, but I found no mention of its exact location in the manual nor there was any pictures/drawings. Does anyone have a pic of it to help locate it?
2- Before removing it, is there a way to bypass it to confirm it is cause of the problem. Is there some sort of lever or linkage that can be removed to disable its action temporarily?
3- I read that the blanking plate and other ancillaries are interchangeable with some bits from Volkswagen. Any part numbers available so I can get them from any VW dealer/supplier here?
I did a search on the forum here and found some instructions on how to remove it but didn't seem to find answers to my questions above.. Thanks ....
