Hello all

I have just bought an amal valve it has 2 pipes on it and a third one with no piping on it opressumably the one the bleed valve would go to its labled r.

I have tried blowing through r but it is blockd off so i have run poitive and negative to it and i still can not blow or suck through it.

I would have thought by putting power to the two conectors it would open up the circuit is it bust?

Any pics or tips on how these fuckers work muco apricated thanks Paul.

also when i run 12 volts across the amal valve it is not clicking and by looking at other ppls posts theres seems to click when switch on for a bit would it be safe to say the amal valve i have bought does not work? or do they not always click?

thanks Paul.

Why did you buy an Amal valve?Is it a replacement for one already there?

I assume you know its a form of boost control?

Yes mate,there supposed to click

Always knew thought you were a bit bent bro....All that sucking and blowing must've got you pretty turned on eh

Anyways, as discussed earlier, sounds to me as though the valve is nackered - they definately are meant to click when you run a postive feed to them (the sound you hear is the internals moving).

As for plumbing, i've had a look in the haynes but the detail is crap... it says "mark the hose locations at the solenoid and remove..", really helpfull

Best thing to do is search the web for piccies of how to plumb it in, but i suggest you first get a valve that works

Just found this in another post bro... should sort you out

look under amal valve, their are letters on it, C goes to compresor housing on turbo, i think its W after that, that goes to actuator and i'm not sure were the other goes as i've tuck mine off.


remember one thing...
