Ever since I had a service 2 week ago

faults are starting to happen.

First wiper motors, I've found out

what they are (BOSCH).

Now not too sure because I am not an

expert like you guy's, but the dump valve

doesn't seem to be working correctly.

I know this is not technical, and is difficult

to discribe, but you know the noise level

they make after you have just booted it, then

took your foot off the exellorator.

Well the noise seem to be down by 50%

or is it just my ears.

Sorry thats not very technical, but its

the best I can do.

Anyone any idea's

Cheers

Thats okay.

The vacuum connection may have come off. It's a short length of plastic hose that connects to the side of the dump valve. If either end comes off the dump valve wont open properly ( I think ).

That little bit that sticks out of the side of the DV, check it's connected :

Funnily enough you're not the first person to report that....
