volume air flow unit
 

Gents, can someone advise or show the web site that shows how to adjust the vein inside the air flow unit. I see the Bentley shows how to check and replace the unit as a whole but I remember someone posted how to re-track the vein. Thanks:rolleyes:

You don't want to adjust the clock spring tension - leave that alone. But you can check and renew the meter by repositioning the wiper arm north to sweep on a new arc.

Thanks Steve, this was the site I was looking for.

One more question, I guess use a utility knife to open the plastic cover and reseal it using 3m weather stripping adhesive or do you suggest something else?

That should be fine, but you'll likely need something stronger like a flat screwdriver to pry up the cover. You can use some type of clear or black silicone to glue the cover back on.

i think i would use RTV, the real stuff, not the crap you get at lowes. the 3M stuff may be way to hard to get off next time

Thanks, and I have plenty of the RTV-red.
