Silicon Dielectric Grease - Smoother running, more responsive & less smokey TDI!!

[Neo]

Use an electrical tester screwdriver (phase tester) to push the inner tab in while you press the top of the tab and pull. Should release, it is tight the 1st few times you take it off.

Thanks, more elbow grease required I think!

yep agreed, sounds fine.

Nice one

Thanks guys, will let you know when I do the MAF.

Do you put this anywhere else apart from the MAF ?

 

[Neo]

It could be used for any electrical connector, but you would only notice the benefits on ECU related plugs I think.

 

[DPJ]

I use it on all electrical connectors and plugs. (except the ones in the interior)

Just purchased some today from ebay. Looking forward to trying it.

found this on ebay

does this look a reasonable price

 

[sssstew]

yeah looks fine but why pay the same again for postage when you can get it at local shops?

I found a tube of 85 gram which you can order thru internet
http://www.corrosion-control.nl/shop/index.php?productID=152

I will give this a try as well

€12,95 and some to ship

 

[googies]

Maplins or similar electrical shop. £4 tops for a decent tube of it!

 

[mymorph]

bought a little 3g tube in the end for 99p. probably enough for 1 or 2 applications. Havnt got round tp using it yet as im a little reluctant to prise the sensor apart.

Hi, I have bought some from ebay and will let you know if it makes any improvement

 

[MarkWales]

asked in maplins in cardiff for dielectric grease and they had no idea what i was talking about - offererd me cpu paste

 

[Viking]

This is the stuff.

Link.

Note that the pic is of an aerosol, but the same stuff is also in a 50g tube and listed on the page (RE90X is the specific code).

Does anyone know of a shop that will ship outside the UK? I can't find a place that'll ship to Macedonia. Alternatively, would anyone help out a fellow TDI owner and possibly mail me a tube if they've got extra?

 

[dieselhead1]

Hi, the link is the maplins product but it's not the best because as it's in a canister i think they add water or something to make it spray
John
N.B The guy in macedonia pm me and i will try to help

 

[mymorph]

i lost the tiny sample i had

looked in 2 maplin stores - didnt stock it

im about to give up on this as a dead loss
