evo 6 ayc whine

[billy6966]

can anybody help...........

my evo 6 has recently started making a whining noise, they ayc light has come on, only makes the noise when turning left.

is this going to be a major problem or should i try changing oil first??

any help would be much appreciated

Might be worth changing the oil but I would bet its the pump.

thanks nick....i had a mate who had similar problem but turned out to be silt in between the plates once it was flushed out it sorted it.

i was hoping it might just be something like that.

if it is the pump whats the best way to go about getting it sorted??

thanks again

Hey mate, id def try changing the oil (flush some through a couple of times too to shift any shit) If its the pump you can risk a second hand one for about £500.. If you buy new from mitsi, they are about £2000

billy, you should definitely change the oil first, if that does not cure the problem then you may well get a pump for less than £500! see how it goes and let us know. i have some contacts that might surprise you.

ok thanks guys, i will try changing the oil this weekend see what happens....will let you know how it goes.

fingers crossed it will sort it

thanks again

Is it possible to change the AYC oil your self?

i thought a special tool/software was needed thats what i was led to belive my well lane turbo center?

 

[billy6966]

as far as im aware you can change the oil yourself easy enough, you only need the mut tool if your changing hyraulic fluid from the pump. i think.......

Whats the mut tool?

anyone else do it there self?

is there anyway of checking if your AYC needs doing ?

The ayc oil should be changed with every service.. So every 4.5k miles or 6 months..
