Can you describe where you see this check valve? Maybe a picture would help.

I believe that's the intake resonance flap vacuum controller. It isn't directional.

I saw on the nice car Mike P. just posted about that it is opposite of mine? Just curious if effects things such as, idle, throttle, a/f?

Hoping someone can spoon feed me..

Looking for the part numbers for the euro rs bumper center section and a right side bumper cap with exhaust cutout. Tried searching through the PET but that's exhausting. Clearly I'm doing it wrong.

Are you looking at the US or UK PET file? The RS never came to the US so they are not listed in the US file. The parts you need are on 802-05, #30 & #31.

Thanks for the link. It went to the main page, but at least I can find it from there

hey folks ... I have my C4 front diff out .. is the white cap on top not the best way to fill the diff? ie before I reposition it?

And how much fluid is optimal - 1.2L (1.25 qrt) as listed in the Tech Data without the guesswork?

Got it nice and clean at least with a wire brush
... respraying it with Clear Tectyl Glashelder Klaar (clear)
which is the modern version of the factory wax sealant .. just without the yellow color.

I would fill using the traditional fill plug. I would leave the plastic vent as is. You risk breaking it if you try to remove it. How much oil is needed? You will up to the level of the fill plug. Be sure to have the diff level and recheck after installation.

This qualifies as silly:

My dome light won't turn on unless the glove box light is on, which really only occurs when the glove box is open. And then there is a few second delay between opening the glove box and when the light turns on.

Is there some magic connection between these two, and what could be leading to this inconsistent situation?

I'm about to buy a replacement front right ABS sensor (964.606.404.02). They come in pairs with the left sensor carrying the number (964.606.403.02) - Right side. The reason why the sensors have different numbers is because of the flange placement. (I thought)

One is on the right side from the sensor wire when looking at the top of the sensor (964.606.403.02)



The other one has the flange on the left side (964.606.404.02) - reference picture from internet.



The sensors are very expensive but I managed to find both second hand (like new). Below is a link to eBay. The problem is that even thou I can read the sensor number on the wire (964.606.404.02) the flange is on the right side, like it's on the 964.606.403.02. The flange should be on the left like in the reference picture found online.

Link to current auction below:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Capteur-De-Vi...L:COSI:CA:1123

The seller says the sensor has never been installed and it's not broken. Language barrier prevents me asking more detailed questions.

I haven't handled these yet and I don't know the details of how they mount. I'm going only by common reason and what I see in pictures.

Can I freely rotate the flange on this sensor?

If so, it seems like a bad design since I'm assuming the sensor's metal tab (sticking at the bottom) needs to be positioned perpendicular to wheel rotation and in-line with ABS teeth inside the wheel carrier. Having the flange spin around the sensor would also allow the sensor to spin in the wheel carrier and misalign with the ABS teeth. Also, if this was possible why have 2 different sensors if you could just spin the flange on the other side.

Anyone has an idea what's going on here?

Thanks!
Andrew
