air pump finally turned up from ebay, it does turn over but has a nasty squeak with it and the bearings feel rough.
but everything is there and nothing is damaged on the outside, so thats a good start.
disclaimer: if the
after you follow my method of rebuilding, don't blame me
i believe all model years of air pump have the same internals
First job is to unbolt the front pulley, rear heat shield air hose and the rear alloy housing.
next post will be striping the main pump down.
anybody in the UK wanting a rebuilt pump please contact me as i could do them cheaper than i list them on ebay.
i will show how i reinstalled the blades and sliders etc, but worf has made my mind up it is actually pretty pointless and quite time consuming
and i figure those that want/can rebuild them themselves will do, and those that can't/ don't want to will either have to remove the belt or buy one rebuilt at some point, genuine ones are £1,200'ish i believe.
+ in the next few weeks i will do a thread on what's involved in reinstalling the factory radio amp, the Blaupunkt BQA80, another pointless thread really, but it might be of use to someone.
cheers
