Is this me CO pot guv ?

Postby Dave Williams » Thu Apr 23, 2015 9:30 pm

Car (Turbo) in for MOT at local garage (did not have time to take it to one of the usual suspects Paul/Lee) and the MOT had expired. (and I guessed there was not much it would fail on given it had spent a long time being rebuilt)

Failed on steering rack boot...handbrake...and CO @ 3.8% (so only ~10% over).
The garage owner confused the car with a vauxhall chevette..fortunately he is not on the spanners anymore...it was parked in the distance. I put it down to vision problems.

The car is still there - I recall Darren's cocktail sausage description of the CO pot..is this it (red circle) and I will try to tell the garage. I don't know my way around a turbo yet...I don't have the car to look for the pot - but I had a photo of another GTA. I think this can fall off if not mounted correctly.

As an aside..this is a photo of Andrew's (turbodog's) car (the 2 wires to the middle plug on ignition module - being discussed on another thread). I took this last summer as a reference as I needed to replace the ignition lead trays.

So...tamper with the tamperproof screw - removing a "dustcap" - a little to the anticlockwise, right ? I will tell the garage it is a "dustcap"

Thanks if you can confirm this is the CO Pot - cheers ?

Interesting. The 1988 car under discussion elsewhere has these 2 wires, but the "extra" wire on the lhs of the centre connector does not go into the harness, rather it connects, possibly to earth, somewhere at the rear of the ignition module? The plot thickens. Apologies for the hijack.
