1. There's a small black plastic pipe coming off the PSD pump (behind
nearside rear wheel arch liner) that looks to me like an overflow or
pressure relief pipe of some kind? It's only 2-3mm in diameter. I've
just noticed it weeping a very small amount of what looks/smells like
brake fluid. Any ideas?
2. When the ignition circuit goes live I'm hearing a small 'clunking'
noise that seems to be from the same nearside rear corner. It's an odd
clunk that repeats quickly about 5/6 times and diminishes - a bit like
the sound of dropped ball that bounces a bit less each time before
stopping. Can't pinpoint what it is but it has a metallic sound to it.
Hi Gareth,
haven't been in there for a few years but iirc there a line to the diff,
small loom to the unit with multipin connector and a vent from near the
top of
the reservoir; hopefully your weep is from the vent.
i used to get a lot of clunking from the back when the last speed sensor
went, i think the control unit sensed that wheel was going and the others
weren't so locked the diff. Made turning on full lock a bit noisy (tyre
scrub) too.
Green light didn't always come on.
Previous sensor went in that mode too but that was rear left so speedo
often
ran up to 20 when stationary so that was an easy one!
Worth running a meter across the sensors to find 900+ Ohms across the
sensor
and infinite Ohms to earth from both sides. You can also get about
0.5VRMS
when you spin a wheel.
Having said that my first sensor passed all that and was only diagnosable
with a hammer.
IME sensor life varies from 2 to 14 years
You don't have RDK do you?
HTH
YMMV
