Title: Quick question about fitting ITG
Post by: monte on June 22, 2012, 12:59:09 pm
Hi there,

Just a quick question....

Due to the fact I have to stay in waiting for a delivery and that I can't nip out for a can of silicone spray, is there anything else I could use instead?

It's for fitting the hoses onto the tubing!!!

I don't want to use anything that will harm the pipes etc.

What about GT85? It's like WD40 but with Ptfe.  :ashamed:


Any ideas?  :popcornsoda:

Ha!!! Cheers Mike!

Does the maf sensor wire and the dv hose need securing or are they ok just sitting free?

Anyone with the ITG going to Inters mind if I compare installs?

(Just for piece of mind)  :innocent:
