info needed on over-run cutoff valve

[Gambit]

leave it with me and ill have a study tonight. im even wrote Overrun on the back of my hand so i dont forget

Thanks mate, owe you one!

[Gambit]

there is a control unit behind the dash for it also. to be honest i'd just leave it disconnected if it has sorted out your kangaroo problem

there is a way to test it using a voltmeter if your interested, haynes manual actually details it quite well. that'll tell you if its the control unit or not that is banjo'd

Thanks for checking gambit, I would leave it but I have to get it sorted as the mpg has droped by 10mpg!!!!

Got in the post this morning a used valve from a fellow kind gti member I have given it a blow (no comments please) and the valve seems to pop nice, my original one didnto seem to do this but gurgled a bit, so hopwfully i swap em over and it will be fine I'll check haynes out and test it, i did know about this but was not sure what setting my multimeter should be on.

Thanks again mate, i'll let you know, it's been a looooong problem

I swapped the cut off valve over but it seems the same, so i guess it's the eletrical module behind the dash   could not test it propally on the road as I have a really bad short and the electrics are going crazy at the moment, bet it's that module.

Anyone got ant info on this module? what's it proper name, how much can it be repaired/overhauled??

Does it have a part code on it mate?  And what year is it?

[Deefadog]

I have no idea what it looks like I think it is located behind the centre console!

As I have replaced the actuall caut-off valve and it has made no difference I have been told it's the module!!

tha car is a MK2 16V November 89
