We also find it is not so noticeable when the engine is cold, but as soon as the engine warms up and imparts a certain amount of heat to the Autovac and suction pipe, the trouble asserts itself. We should be very pleased to hear of any suggestions which you can offer in order to enable us to overcome the difficulty. Thanking you in anticipation! Yours faithfully, | ||
