One More Air Leak Resolved - Holset Air Control Valve


Hypoxia

Recommended Posts

I aired up the coach with shop air and heard an air leak from 20' away.  It was the Holset Turbo Actuator  Air Control Valve 3770742 .  Inland Kenworth had it in stock so a couple of hours later and a much lighter wallet that leak has been resolved.  Who knows how long it was a small leak and in an inaccessible spot that I probably would have never discovered it.

Did you consider a rebuit one, or, a rebuild kit?

It was just a coincidence that I heard the leak using shop air.  It may have been a slow leak that turned into a large leak or possibly a diaphragm ruptured at that point in time.

I considered a rebuilt one but the ISX guys convinced me to get a new Holset.  If it saves a problem while travelling it's worth it but we'll never know about that now.
