thank you for you replies....

From what i saw today ( i had a auto sparkie looking at it with me ) he tested the relay out of the car and it was clicking.... he tested the pump in the car somehow through the relay... i'm guessing by just bridging accross the big wires... that was i believe, just to make sure the pump was not the problem. He traced the relay wire ( i'm guessing pin3 ) back to the ets c/u...i think it was a brown wire... thats why he was saying he thinks there is no signal to the relay..... possibly no siganl from ets c/u... surely it must be something simple......

Ok it sounds like the relay is working. If you have a look at the schematic it shows a wire coming from the control unit from pin26 and see if a negative is coming out which goes to pin 4 on the relay. You can see on the relay the other side of the coil goes to a positive.

The problem will be either an earth from the C U or the wire is broken.

Show your auto elec the diagram. Should be able to work out simple control circuit wiring and work out if its at the C U

Thanks for the diagram Impul

If you find any good information from your auto electrician please post it up, it was a relay issue I was having, replaced it and now it's a intermittent issue...

If you have time Brad I would love to drive up to yours and go through it?!?

Yeah I have time but what did you want to go through? I missed what IT is.

Just looking to find out what the intermittent issue might be before I get Iain from here to send me another pump to try... I guess will start from scratch :)

Give me a call :thumbsup:

Thank you again for your replies....... but this is really going to make your brains hurt now... a friend of mine and i have spent another couple of hours on this problem today.......

When you unplug the ETS relay under the air intake box you get 12v accross the plug of coil ( pins 3 and 4 ).... but when you plug in the relay, the voltage accross pins 3 and 4 drops to almost nothing instantly.

We again tested the relay out of the car by putting 12v accross pins 3 and 4 and the relay works fine. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????

This thread seems to have the most info. I'm getting intermittent 4WD light coming on. Fluid level is well over the High line when car is off, when I start it up (haven't even put it into gear yet), the level drops to just above Low. Sound right?

That sounds a bit odd, the level might change a tiny bit when the pump starts; but not a huge amount.

I've been wrong before, but It sounds like you might have air trapped, and the pump is filling the line, compressing the air and filling the line.

When the pump stops, the pressurised pocket of air is expanding, pushing the fluid back out of the line; forcing the fluid back into the reservoir much like a hydraulic accumulator.

Turned the synchro mode and there's a groaning noise every time I turn it onto either synchro or snow. That said it sounds like it may be the hinge that switches modes (I remember reading something about this?).

Any info on bleeding?

Don't know if the M<35 is the same as C34 but -

I get the car up on stands and run the engine - crack the bleeder at the back of the gearbox extension and keep the reservoir in the boot topped up with atf. Then there is another bleeder on top of the atessa pump above the diff.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
