Hi guys,
I am thinking about giving the contacts in the AFM a clean, i have not done it before - is it simply a case of cutting the silicon and levering thetop off and then re-siliconing after a clean?

Hi Nicko,

yes it is. I did it on my16V that way.

thanks Tom - does the top have to be air tight?

I think it's not so critical - if you use silicon, there should be no problem.

Have you already exchanged the temperature sensor?

not yet, I am doing it on Saturday. the part no. (for my 1994 16v) is 5972332 (it's a FIAT part no. but sounds like the right part from a verbal description over the telephone) in case you are interested. It will cost me about £20. I'll let you know how it goes

What is the best tool for levering the top off Tom?

Thanks.

I simply used a knife for cutting the silicon around and then a screwdriver for levering the top. It is not difficult.
