After receiving a link to Rob Carsey‘s YouTube video on this subject from a fellow iS builder, I thought I’d reach out to the VAF community to see how many others are experiencing this issue…
I think I’ve found my Heat muff loose every time I’ve done an oil change, but to a lesser degree after safety wiring the heat muff hose clamp screws the first time it occurred. My friend has had the same issue with around 50 hours on his iS. Rob makes three of us, so wondering how many more are out there?
I sent the attached photo to Van’s Support when I found it as shown in the photo during my 200-hr CI. They seemed surprised it was still working loose with the hose clamp screw safety wired. They had no issue with me adding two more FF-00090L threaded rods, 90 degrees from the original, to help hold the heat muff end rings in place. I intended to install them at my next oil change.
So, again, how many other silent majorities are there out there with this issue?
