Hey, guys, I hope I'm not offending anyone here! Please take my attitude exactly as I intend it - friendly! Murray, seriously I consider we're a bunch of guys made friends through the site- sorry if sometimes the wording may sound different !
Its not meant to!

Murray, Bosch never encouraged any kind of tampering or adjustment attempts on AFM's (as if we didn't know!). This is why there's no literature on the particular subject. The clockspring and the wiper position adjustment are interrelated . The spring determines the general flap resistance, so that i...

Greg, this is from many sources, like Watson, Probst et al,(including Bosch manuals)-they all originate from Bosch anyway. I'm sorry but the Bosch rep was wrong. There are even cases where the flap is fully open at 3000rpm! The most important function is to measure air flow at LOW revs and load , th...

Murray, The AFM flap is fully open at about 3500-4000rpm and more specifically, at the point of maximum volumetric efficiency (greatest air intake/cycle). Since above this RPM air intake/cycle actually decreases, fuel delivery is a function of RPM rather than air flow and follows the delivery map st...

I don't know much about the 2,5v6, but is the US AFM the same as the Euro one? In the 3liter they're different. Not only in calibration, the SPRINGS are different. I've made a little tension-meter tool, that fits the little bean-shaped hole in the plastic wiper holder, so that I can compare the flap...

Nord rod: 156,950/157,050mm (from AR shop manual)
The TS length is not specified in the official literature, but is a little shorter if I remember right. MATS...HELP !!! (HE knows!)

This new ''Jim K'' call sign may lead to some confusion here. Since you just joined, would you mind using some more letters in the name, so that we can differ??

Way to go Michael! Now you can outbreak most of those Jap crapmobiles on the track!!!

Is a similar driveshaft available for the Milano/75 3liter? Where and how much?
Thanks!
Jim K.

Looks like you're about to cross the line into the Ring Mats, so stop mucking around and DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know you want to !! I'll use distance hypnosis on you, hahah!!!!!!! Micke, Maurizio, Andrew, how about May 15 we all meet there?? We'll arrive Sat. noon at Dottingen. We alr...

Nobody likes squealing brakes. I don't know which pads you are referring to, but I have not had this problem with either DS2000 or 2500 pads (my hearing is very good, too :D ). I haven't found any concrete reasons for pad sqealing yet, but I hear that spraying the back of pads with copper spray help...

Really Michael, it baffles me, WHY do you have to do ANYTHING to the pads? They are the ones originally designated for these calipers , right? Then, the manufacturer sure as hell has everything falling in the right place regarding dimensions,clearances etc. ALL you should have to do is design the a...

The outer edge of the disc should always be flush with the edge of the pads! I'm sure this was the situation where these brakes were before and there should have never been any noise issues. If you haven't removed the rotors yet, why don't you try something out: Apply some paint to the rotor circumf...
