So...........................

Slightly off topic.

Is the symphony of sound the same above 4000rpm with or without the fuse installed?

I know that in the lower rev's, the fuse removed will result in a much more throatier sound.

The sound, the look, the feeling..... It feels special!!
I'm loving it.

10 hours, 24 minutes between pulling and re-posting....

How many tunnels ?

Hi guys

When I put my car in for its service, I asked my dealer to pull fuse 22, or to do whatever is necessary to keep the exhaust valve open. They said they didn't know anything about it, and asked where I'd heard about it...

Anyway, I thought no worries, I'll just pull it myself. So I whipped it out this morning and... the engine wouldn't start. Well, that's not strictly true. It starts, revs to about 2,000 rpm and then cut off. I can give it some throttle to get it up to about 4,000 rpm and defer the drop off, but ultimately it's the same every time. The fuse I took out is described in the manual as: 'F22 - Mass airflow sensor (LH and RH)'.

Of course, I popped it back in and all is well. Still, I'd like to keep the butterfly valve thing open to experience the full joys of its roar. Any ideas? Did I do something wrong, or doesn't this apply to late 2006 AMV8s?

Cheers, Matty

Wrong fuse, you need the F22 out the rear fuse box, sounds like you removed F22 out of the engine bay

[ColB2]

Wrong fuse box. Go to the one in the boot on the right-hand side, under the tyre inflator. Still numbered 22

[ColB2]

sorry for duplication, had to log on, lost 5 mins I see to the earlier reply.

[matty_boy]

D'oh! It took me bloody ages to get to the one in the engine bay... really fiddly.

Just looked in manual again at the boot fuses: 'F22 - Exhaust bypass valve and vacuum pump'. Plonker!

[matty_boy]

Oh, and thanks COLB2 and V8TVR...

They must be the only Aston dealers in the known universe that don't know about it. The main Aston works at Gaydon told me about it! (Although they told me not to tell anyone... yea right )
