Thread: P2264 - It’s winter again

And no, there’s never any water in the fuel when you drain it. I suspect the circuit gets moisture in it in the wet weather and flags a fault. I’d bypass the thing if I could work out how

When new mine would get water in the electrical connectors after driving through puddles. The silly warranty technician checked for water in the filter bowl rather than read my complaint properly so I just sealed the connectors in silicone.

So you didn't remove the sensor, but coated all connectors in silicon to stop water interfering?

I sealed the connector on the sensor wire which was supposed to be waterproof.

If its anything like mine (which it should be), just unplug the single wire going to the sensor in the bottom of the bowl.

The previous owners mechanics did that on mine by discarding the sensor entirely (yay) and leaving the connector dangling. No alarms though.

I wondered if it was that easy. Boom! Cheers. The day I do have water in the fuel I doubt it’ll actually work anyhow lol

Don't worry DJ, any water related issues will be mitigated by your oil leaks, boost pressure losses or susoension/transmission issues.

Wow. I thought we were “brothers from another mother” given our similar issues. Bastard!

New oil cooler arrived yesterday. New oil seals for the oil air separator in stock and will change just because I’m in there.

Boost pressure is great thanks. Transmission is slick as. My new shocks and rebuilt compressor are going great. (Tongue emoji!!!!)

And after all of this I still suspect my oil leaks are elsewhere. I can though confirm they’re not from the throttle! That’s fixed!!!
