Cheers mate - I'll have to keep an eye on it. Upto now the AYC light not come back on whilst driving. :-)

the ayc bleeding is b0ll0x. its not necessary, just the fluid change that the clutch packs sit in needs doing to keep it clean and stop the grinding noises.

if the ayc light is coming on its probably cos the pump has not accumulated pressure in the time it wants to. so an adjustable switch means you can alter the cut off pressure for the pump, but ultimately the pump is on its last legs, so the switch just gets you by.

So what we were reading a while ago on another forum maybe true.

The guys overseas have found another way to bleed the ayc without a mutII tool. Neil and I have not said anything as we don't want to be responsible for someones ayc unit fooking up.

[Rich@RGMotorsport]

the ayc can be manually bled no problem.

btw, your arc light will more likely come on in hot weather.

yes and no........

the bleeding is unecessary, so yes they are robbing peeps IMO.

but the mutII/III makes is 10 times easier to bleed....

Thanks very much for the information. So far the light has not come back on again. :-)

How much would I be looking at if the pump does eventually need replacing?

[Rich@RGMotorsport]

i'd say 350-500 for a s/h pump, an 1-2 hours labour depending on how well the pipes come off
