No I have not. How much do you add? I'm assuming the pump is the original, as my history folder doesn't show a pump replacement. I may replace it anyway. Since I should probably change the filter. No need to go in there twice.

add about 6 oz to a full tank
if your going to replace the fuel pump,
then make sure you get
the 3 sealing washers, you may not need them but you will have them
the hard line from pump to filter, this line seems to be a one time use as it usually deformed when refitted and thus a leak happens,
and IIRC the pump should already have a new check valve .

Cold start issue solved. I sent the MAF off to Injection Labs For a rebuild. Pretty quick turnaround on it. Less than two weeks including shipping both ways. Price was pretty good too. Anyways, I installed it today and the car fired right up. No rough idle. One issue down. On to the next.

What is the WSM routine? I would like to do this on an '88 S4. Thanks

The proceedure in Vol 1A of the WSM only applies to 85-86 US 32v.

Your car, if fitted with cats has no adjustment possible.

Non-cat S4/GT etc and non cat 84-86 Euro 16v all have idle CO adjustment pots.
