The eagle eyed among you have seen that the AAR is missing on the pics of my engine. It looks to be shot. It measures 13 Ohm. Somehow I am under the impression that I've read somewhere that it's a 13 Ohm wire, but needs 39 Ohm resistance when tested.
On the Pelican pages, I found an article how to remove the upper and lower part and a 'how to' when it comes to repairing the AAR. Sounds familiar? Finally: is there an alternative AAR from other makes/cars/models that can be used instead of the original Bosch VW thing? Menno |

Also, just a head's up...it will be hot after a few minutes with the voltage applied so be careful picking it up. That's why it's a good idea to have a short length of hose to try and blow through rather than putting your mouth on the AAR itself.
The AAR on my old 72 was frozen. I filled a small tupperware with WD40 and let it soak submerged for a couple days. Worked perfectly after that. |
