Re: Who is Running the TT 16V Fuel Enrichment Module?

["Craig Williams" <roccolister@hotmail.com>]

To update my own post...

I decided to call Colin at TT about this incase they've had other reports of
it. Sure enough he knew all about it. Apparently the version that I have was
their early model, mounted in a black box. He says that moisture gets in and
causes the relay to go bad and make the fuel injectors spray a rich as they
possibly can. His newer version isn't mounted inside a box and he says that
if the relay goes bad, it doesn't dump all the fuel like the older one.

He also said that if I send it back to him, he'll replace it with the newer
one for $25. I'll be sending it back to him tomorrow!
