Drops To Neutral

Just an update too. I opened the car door this morning, and the pump primed, but it was a very low whirring sound, that went for 12-15 seconds - certainly not the noise I am used to hearing.

 

The car started, and I had use of all gears. I left it at that. Won't be moving it until I have that sorted.

Hi Smaky!

 

I have some things to report!

 

Beginning: Pump took 14 seconds to prime (vehicle had not been started for 48 hours).

 

Battery: 12.02V with vehicle off. 14.3V with vehicle running.

 

Pump: Manually prompted the pump in the "Actuators" tab, and I got half a prime, and two very small, barely audible ones. Certainly not the 5/5 that I would expect.

 

Pump Prime in Graph:

- Primed to 53.01bar

1 min: 48.03 bar

2 min: 47bar

3 min: 45bar

3 min 40 seconds: 43.9bar

3 min 50 seconds: Primed back to 52bar

 

As always, I really do appreciate all your help. Ta.

Smaky, are you able to also post a step-by-step guide on how to change an accumulator, and the pump? I am keen to have a go at it myself.

All of those figures are fine accumulator wise, I am actually satarting to lean towards the EV1 valve sealswhich is on the side of the actuator under the pressure sensor.

Thanks. I am taking the car to an Alfa Specialist next Friday. Will let you know what they say.

Smaky, are the EV1 o-rings the same size as the EV0 ones?
