Hi gang,
Was able to get into the doors this weekend to check out the leakage
problems in both the urq and 4kq. In both cases, it was the same
problem. Plastic fatigue on one or more of the retaining tabs on the
vacuum actuator led to pressure leaks when unlocking. This problem will
not be found with a vacuum pump as there is sufficient seal to lock. The
test cable I've described previously works perfectly to easily diagnose
this problem. I've temporarily encircled the actuator with tie wraps to
help seal the units. Permanent repair will require replacement of the
broken units.
Regards,
Tony
