Ross Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 is this a common occurence? If so, does anyone know why it happens? Can a new replacement be bought, or will i have to go second hand? Thanks, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 is this a common occurence? If so, does anyone know why it happens? Can a new replacement be bought, or will i have to go second hand? Thanks, Ross Must be common.Both I have are broken.The better one looks exactly like yours,the other is in 4 pieces.My 2 piece one works fine,but I rotated the pieces until the gap was eliminated.(magnetic "circuit" still complete,it doesn`t know it is broken) I suppose you could superglue it back together,but I didn`t bother. I think worn disty bushings allowing the reluctor to hit the stator is the cause. 99.9% sure that 83-84 turbos use the same magnet as 85-86 turbos and the 85-86 one IS available.My ea-82 parts book suggests that at least some non-turbo 85-86s also use this magnet.Part#491988711.Amazingly,price is under $10!!! At that price,I think I`ll buy a new one too. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
