    Intake gasket time to change

    I have a VS 2 Statesman with 380,000km on the clock. I was advised that the intake gaskets need be changed at 200,000km regardless if they are leaking or not. Is this a normal procedure?

    VS 2 Statesman 1997

    It was recommended to me that I should change the inlet manifold gaskets every 200,000km as a preventative maintenance procedure. This was to circumvent coolant leaking into the inlet manifold. My VS 2 Statesman has 380,000km on the clock. It is not leaking and has never been changed. Does...

    VS II Turn Signal Indicators do not work

    Thanks,wamboin23, I'll try another flasher unit and try for a Hella as per the original. I will let you know the outcome. One of the spade terminals had a solder streak so that was why I suspected the Flasher. Kind regards, Jim

    Thanks Stick3, I have replaced both the flasher relay and the turn indicator stalk and have seen no improvement. The original Flasher unit was Hella P/N 4DB003750-37and the replacement is Tridon P/N EP35/FET13.The only discernable difference was that between terminals 31 and 49a, Hella...

    VS II Turn Signal Indicators do not work

    Thank you for your suggestion. I appreciate your prompt response. Unfortunately, after several tries, the old problem remains. The Hazard Flasher operated smoothly and turn the power on and off timely. I also am a fan of the VS and have owned mine for over 15 years. Plenty of legroom and...

    Thanks everyone for your advice and experience. Yes, the fault was in the vacuum solenoid. I pulled it apart, cleaned it and blew low pressure air through the small vent holes. There were small pieces of rubber slivers partially blocking the vent holes. I did need slide the console...

    VS 2 Statesman Air Condition Problem

    Hi iChris, Thanks for the tip. I will try this tomorrow and let you know. I do not think I have a vacuum leak firewall forward because When I disconnect the vacuum line from the intake, and the one-way valve, I can hear air being sucked into the vacuum tank. The vents do not change with high...

    VS 2 Statesman Air Condition Problem

    Thanks very much. I will inspect the vacuum lines first. Seems access to the solenoid unit will require removal the centre console. I have taken this out before for other reasons so I will hold my tongue in place and practice patience. Thanks again, Jim
