I honestly don't know enough about fluids and their effects on mechanical systems, much less the ACD. I just don't think you should risk any further damage.

 

Oh ok , I agree about not risking damage. I also dont trust mitsu dealers but I guess I have no other choice unfortunately . Thanks again for the help

 

ACD fluid is more like ATF fluid, not PS fluid.

 

ok Powersteering fluid and ATF fluid have simmalar properties, I would just suck out the fluid in the Resivoir and put new atf Fluid back in and you should be fine.

 

yeah i thinks its called a 10mm wrench, and a floor jack. . No you don't need special tools to bleed your acd, but I wouldn't bleed it for no reason. And I don't think that would be a good to drain out fluid in the case of contanmination, you wanna drain it topside, or suck it out of the resivoir. The fluid doesn't realy circulate, it works more like your braking system. So the fluid in the Resivoir usualy stays in the Resivoir, Don't cycle the switch and don't WOT.

 

Lord have Mercy, 3SGTE, the word is ABBREVIATIONS. I almost shat myself when I saw the way you spelled it (phonetically, it appears). Otherwise, the abbreviations are nice. Don't think I've ever seen anyone type EWG, IWG, ABV, BMP, or MIL. You should have much more common abbreviations like:

BPV = Bypass Valve (instead of APB)
DV = Diverter Valve
MBC
LICP
UICP
FMIC
TBE
etc... (those may not fit as "guru" lingo)

 

lol I meant as in if i type one of those, thats what I mean. Not what other People mean. those are abreations i use. Ahh I am Getting bored of my sig anyway.

 

Abreations?? AGhhhh. Just pulled all my hair out! :P

 

lmao I spell stuff wrong on purposes. some is by accident

 

Please do not mix up the fluids in the acd. My friend put the wrong fluid in his AYC and after a few miles his AYC broke. It has to be the specified viscousity (for JDM models ATF SP III for acd and ATF II for the power steering).

AND the system needs to be bled if the fluid in the Oil pressure piping part including the reservoir is changed.

 

Warrtalon, "Sponsored by evom vendors" LOL, is that nessesary?

 

hell yea it is, look at the package in his sig!

 

shouldnt need to be bled. What color is the PS fluid he used??? hopefully its not red and you can see the color difference in the resovoir. I'd use a turkey baster and suck all the fluid out of the resovoir and then put atf fluid in and check it over and over and over.

PS fluid and atf like someone else said do have very similar properties, the only difference may be diferent heat viscosities.

 

Is it possible to deactivate the ACD? IE fuse or other method besides just the Ebrake?

 

The site owner felt it necessary so that anyone who sees my suggestions knows for sure that my opinions/comments could be influenced by the fact I'm sponsored by several EvoM vendors. I have always kept the list in my sig, but Ali felt it necessary to add one more layer. It was a compromise so that I didn't have to become a vendor underneath one of my sponsors, which was good, since I don't personally sell anything.
