Subject: [200q20v] 200q20v] diff lock from hell possible fix
Light on = differential is locked. My friends lock would do the same thing
as you describe. The fix was to clean all the soda, coffee and crumbs out
of the switch. Remove it, open it up, clean it with IPA, or rubbing
alcohol, re-install. This is assuming that the vacuum system to the diff
lock is in good shape.

Subject: [200q20v] diff lock from hell
<Snip>
So today I get in the car, fire it up, and I see the Anti-lock off light
again, then the green diff lock light in the diff diagram, hmm.. it seems
that the diff lock has engaged again. I was able to turn it off (ABS
was re-enabled, the green light was off) and get where I was going with
the diff unlocked. I think it was physically unlocked too, the car
didn't feel squirrely or scrub the tires around corners. So on the way
home I fire up the 200q20v again and what do you know, it's engaged and
I can't disengage it. I tried shutting the car off, back on, and
immediately disengaging it but this didn't work, so it seems I'm
perma-difflocked now.
Has this happened to anyone before? Also, when that yellow
crescent-shaped light is illuminated on the diff switch, is the diff
supposed to be on or off?

Subject: [200q20v] headlight protection
Fellow listers:
Picking up on a recent thread, I just saw an ad in a catalog I get from a
local company called International AutoSport for headlight
protection.....product is called "X-Pel" and is described as "40-mil"
thermoplastic vinyl backed by a 4-year, $1000 headlight replacement
guarantee. Cost listed in the catalog is $44.95 for two covers. Their
toll-free # is 800-726-1199.....website is www.autosportcatalog.com.
No affiliations, but I have purchased various items from this company over
the years and believe that they are a very good outfit. Most of their
business appears to be direct mail but they have a small retail shop here in
Charlottesville where the business is located.

Subject: [200q20v] Snow Tires
I recently ordered a set of 205/60- 15 Blizzaks which I was planning on
mounting on my OE 15 inch 7.5 BBS's (on the avant). When the tires were
brought to the tire shop (purchased from the tire rack) they refused to
mount them b/c they considered them a down-grade in size.
I have been told the 205 is too small. Is this true? Do I need to mount
215's on this car? Why can't I mount the 205, considering it is for winter?
Thank you all for the feedback.
Best, Drew Lipner

I am very very pleased with the IA Stage III+. Have
had it over a year now. No loss of drivability
whatsoever. No reliability problems. MPG even went UP
by 1-2 MPG. My car is otherwise bone-stock. Excellent
mod and superb perf/$ ratio. Could not be happier with
it. I think Ned is just slow in updating his web
site... It's available.

Take your business elsewhere, they are full of $hit.
It is one size smaller, but that is not enough to cause a problem.
I had a '91 Avant with that size on which I drove for two years
with no problem whatsoever. The shop you went to is either
stupid or just didn't want your money.

I just have to ask -
IA Stage III are using RS2 injectors.
Your MPG (if from the board computer) still
measure duty cycles, not knowing the amount of
fuel?
Kind Regards
Claus Vegener

Another thought, Tim.
As I recall, you've recently gone through 3 new warranty replacement
distributors, none of which have solved, for long, the oil leakage problem
into the body of the distributor. We now know that apparently these
distributors do not have a positive shaft seal absolutely preventing oil
blowby, so why are you having a blowby pressure that others apparently are
not experiencing?
Have you looked outside of the distributor itself for the root source of the
problem? Could it be that the crankcase breather system has a blockage
problem? In the past there have been threads on both the 20V lists about
such problems and associated parts replacements. The rubber hose to the
block, the flame trap, and other parts at the throttle body end of this
breather system, one that as yet I have not had to fool with.
Dig into it, and keep us posted.
Bernie

Good writeup (part numbers, etc) at http://www.20v.org/acclight.htm... seat
heater switches are soldered tiny bulbs, other switches are press-fit tiny
bulbs. I have done both my seat heater switches, James' seat heater switches,
and the other three switches on my car. Just be careful in the prying apart of
the switch, especially in colder temperatures.
