I think that would be a good spot for a tap.

I've been doing some reading over the last few days and I figured out what the thread starter was getting at.

HE REMOVED HIS ALDA!

There is a 9-10 page thread on this. I think he was trying to show off that his was now ALDA free.

Am I right?

How is it going?

I removed mine last night. It will be a few days before I have the car put back together. Maybe longer if I keep breaking stuff... (I broke a linkage end connector last night...)

........yep, you're a veritiable genius........

Yea, well, I try to be modest...

But seriously, the photo doesn't really show where the ALDA used to be. It just shows the abandoned OB Protection Solenoid.

But, seriously, check out post #12.

I guess I should have gone back and read it from the beginning before I posted anything, lest I make a memory mistake! Heaven forbid...

I've read so many threads over the last couple of days it is hard to remember what was said where and by whom. All I know right now is that I was a 12mm deepwell socket away from having my glow plugs replaced (I got all but the #1) and being ready to put everything back together again. Then I broke a throttle linkage socket.

Now I am a slave to Phil and UPS.

I was going to blow off putting in the injection line heaters. Now I guess I have time...

Actually, I did remove the ALDA, yes, but I didnt do my switch like that. Someeone apparently before me rigged it like that. So I guess, since I have no ALDA, it doesnt matter that my OB Switch isnt hooked up?

Is that right?
