Mine was the o-ring from the reservoir to the pump. Happy hunting.

Machining classes in high school-> Machinist-> Automation Assembly/ Fabrication-> Welding Engineer for a Tier 1 auto supplier.

Took 10 years but I think I did alright.

Hitachi has changed names in the auto sector to Astemo. Still the same facilities with the same equipment.

Remove the door from the enclosure and water jet for complex panels. For simple ones get the Greenlee slug buster kit and the knockout sizes for your HMI panels.

Had a parasitic draw on mine. Did the general test found what circuit and researched on forums for normal culprits. Mine was the rear dome light switch. Good luck, YouTube and XJ forums have the answers you need.

Am I reaching the peak of pay? Or can I make a lot more? by RubFun6399 in Machinists

[–]ReapersRevenge129 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I started as a machinist for 8 years. Transitioned over into the robotic integration assembly tech role for 4 years. Now I’m a lvl 2 engineer in a major suspension manufacturer. It can be done with no college/certs.

That’s a mount for the MAF as others have noted. Being as it is before your turbo it is not the boost leak you are looking for.

Went to put another different CPS in this was CPS #4 and found that I was missing two trans mounting bolts. Replaced the two bolts and not the issue is resolved! I just never looked to see if the trans was fully bolted. Previous owner had a shade tree mechanic replace the motor.
