Post by: V_Arse6 on 03 August 2006, 13:46: My Bentley manual doesn't say they're different, but does give separate charts for the amount of flow/pressure to check for when testing them, without the VR6 one having any more voltage or anything....

So yes, I'd guess they probably are different? :undecided:
