  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

14 TE310R Airbox temp sensor plate

Hi All,

I have found a gap where water and air get through between the two plates that provide the mount for the air temp sensor.

Inspecting further one side of the plate is not crimped. See pic below the right most nut has been crimped up so it's holding the two plates either side together (circled in green) but the left one (in red) has just been inserted and doesn't pull up against anything.

The parts manual only mentions the plate on top but nothing about being two. Is this a manufacture defect? Is suspect will need to replace that airbox section. Is someone able to check theirs on either an 13/14 TE250/310 and see if both nuts are crimped?

As it's not pulling tight it's creating a gap which water can get in.

Thanks,

Thanks for this... I'll check mine soon. hell, I'm due for a clean filter anyhow.

good eye, btw.

But I think the bigger deal is that it's leaking dirty air into the clean side of the air box. I'm not sure I'd be as worried about water leaking through there (even water carrying dirt, as you can see in your photo).

If you can't expand that nut-sert, I assume you're gonna hit it with some RTV silicone?

I spray a light oil on my air box or wipe it with a rag wetted with filter oil (especially the clean air side) to catch any dust- to let me know I have a leak.
 
Wasn't able to find long enough nutserts in m5 so I used a m5 socket head cap screw with nylon lock nuts. I drilled out the nutserts
