The fix is good for both systems - but a better fix, which is about $148.00
cheaper, and much faster to accomplish (if you were planning on visiting the
dealer) is as follows:

>> The 5 min fix is to get some electronic cleaner at the FLAPS, carefully
>> remove the cover of your AFM (it is siliconed closed from the factory),
and
>> spray the wiper contact surface liberally. Move the wiper carefuly back
and forth a few times. Let
>> the cleaner evaporate.
>>
>> Replace cover, and seal with a good tape.
>>
>> Make sure it is electronic (not electrical) cleaner -evaporates super
fast,
>> very cold as it evaporates, comes in a can sorta like wd-40, many brands
are
>> good, they're all basically the same formula.

Hope this helps,

Dear List,

Can anyone confirm whether or not the famous/infamous cap fix for the AFM
is for BOTH digijet and digifant engines?

Also, does anyone have a good engine compartment wiring harness for sale?

Thanks,

Woody
