metering device replacement
 

Who here has ever had to replace one

(82SC)

and under what circumstances?

Thanks

Are you talking about the fuel distributor?

Sorry for delay yes in answer though,
fuel distributor, commonly reffered to as metering head (UK)

My car had a top-end rebuild carried out, but came back with more than the occasional puff of smoke we all know & love.

Back it went for further investigation, during which time fuel was discovered squirting out one #3 exhaust valve.
(Exhaust removed for inspection)

An exchange for new injectors failed to rectify indeed a replacement meter was sourced second-hand in order to eliminate problem, but its age and subsequent condition caused smoke all the time
(as opposed to intermittent)
A new unit has apparently cured this unhappy quirk, and if it continues to start up in a satisfactory way,
I shall collect it from Mr Spanners in a day or Two.

Now, I've trawled Porsche forums for this sporadic smoke (fuel)
to no avail over recent weeks, the nearest comparison I've made
is both 928/944 DME fuel relay playing up.
But on an early 911, nothing
Hence enquiry.


Editerd to mention;
IF Tuthills Banbury UK

had bothered less with contents of cash register
and more with this particular car in the first place
I would'nt have had to have their lacklustre work corrected



Thanks for that SmileWavy SmileWavy SmileWavy
