I'm thinking maybe a problem with a hydraulic accumulator?

There's bound to be one in the system.

If it has lost its charge, the pump will cycle repeatedly to charge the system with pressure.

If it keeps leaking down, the pump cycling on all the time may fault the system.

Just a thought.

youre right, the transfer case is only clutches and a chain drive.

the pump is where we have already mentioned. if the pump is gone, its not a cheap exercise. however it might be something easy like the attesa ECU or a relay etc.

you can hear the pump start when you start the engine. if you dont, then its something related to that.

have you checked the fluid level in the boot??

Well ill put it this way - if i jam my foot on the gas it hooks up and goes but then it feels like it slips back to RWD but i could be wrong as i have never driven another.

I was thinking the Altessa computer or one of the relays near by but i would need to borrow someones working one to do that... any takers?

The electric motors next to the pump would be my next bet but again it would be a matter of borrowing someones to try or borrowing a spare.

Fluid levels are all good.

if youre prepared to give me a refundable deposit.

we can take this to PM.

also, dale is this the part youre talking about?

This may sound like a silly question but would the car still engage the front wheels if the pump was the problem?

not properly. it wouldnt be able to engage the clutches to tranfer the torque forward as there would be no fluid pressure.

maybe there isnt enough pressure in yours or maybe too much

as mentioned, might be air in the system

While being complied they bled the system multiple times, if i were to give it a crack in the drive way how would i go about it?

Also this would not explain why the gauge is non operational.

Mike.

apparently there is a plug next to the consult plug that runs the attesa pump so you can bleed it from all the points.

youll need a hoist and someone in the car to connect it up

as for the gauge, maybe it just doesnt work?

If anyone has any pointers on how to bleed the altessa on an M35 please feel free to post it up here, that way I can have a crack on the weekend.

I'm hoping the gauge problem is the same as the 4WD light but you are right, it may just not work.

Just to touch on the pump, can anyone tell me if the pump cycles upon start up the same as a GTR? my car has been at Morpowa this morning and as the car is a bit obscure he was unsure if the pump cycles or not as this one did not.

Cheers.

Yep, cycles to build pressure, then stops. That's why I was on about an accumulator; it has all the hallmarks of that kind of issue.

I don't know where it would be; I've never even pulled the cover off mine. But if there is one, it will be a steel canister after the pump, normally with a check valve between the two.

Excuse my ignorance but if it was this 'accumulator' why would it stop the pump from cycling if it is after the pump its self?

Simon @ Morpowa is on the hunt for more of an electrical fault but i will advise him of this as anything would help at this stage, just waiting for a wiring diagram before we go round 2 otherwise we will be wasting time.

He found a relay at the front of the car near the air cleaner that has something to do with the Altessa that seems to not be gettin power, we are also looking into this but with out the wiring diagram its quite slow.

It would only be this if it were running constantly, or cycling on & off rapidly & then going into fault. I was under the impression the pump was actually running; if it's not , you're on the right track looking for an electrical fault.

Best of luck, wasn't my intention to lead you in the wrong direction.

That's cool Dale, the more things it isn't the closer we get to what it is, but it is looking very electrical ATM, just need some parts to be able to swap and check.

Cheers, Mike.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
