Ctis Question

[tomcata3]

Hi guys,
I'm new to the site. I have a m35a3 and I'm in the process of replace the ctis manifold. The old manifold had a little bit of oil in it when I removed it.
Should I put some oil in the new one. It did not come with any paper work.

you can put a little air tool oil in there. But most if it from the oil in the air system from the compressor

Hey tomcata3!!!popacom /BILL In KY.here. Welcome to the site!!!!!!!!! I am wondering why you are replacing the manifold? Did it have problems or are you just doing PM? I do not have an A3 but I am putting this same system on my Special OP's Pinzgauer project and I am interested in learning the ins and outs of this system as well. I will be following future posts and again welcome to the site,there is a host of info,parts,and sources and not least of all, a lot of great folks here so enjoy!!!

Roger that!!! seems a lot of guys are blocking them off and not using them. I talked with a contractor friend about this system(He works for AM General) and he said they had teams that
investigated issues with the systems that they supported and most issues were traced back to
op-error(Not turning the system off when parking the vehicle) was the biggest reason sited for
