Dinan Sport install issue

Chick_Slayer · 06-12-2018, 07:37 AM

I'm having a problem removing the sensor off the charge pipe and don't want to break the sensor by forcing it. I used contact cleaner to help loosen it, but it still won't come off, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

you don't need to remove the sensor from the charge pipe. You just unplug the connector from the sensor and plug one end of the Sport+ into the sensor and the other end into the connector.

That's the part I meant won't come off..it's not unplugging.

Sometimes the snap lock can be difficult to unlock. Use a small flat head screwdriver to pry the snap lock up while you pull on the connector.

Thanks, that worked! I used a small flathead which lifted the lock and then pushed it out with the screw driver, took a hot second. That pipe hovering over the charge pipe is annoying.
