I have just bought one and i am waiting for a manual to up.
So far have not got anything to refer to.

Can someone please send me a pic of the location of the fuse and the relay location?

Are they near the Bitron relays

Rarebear,
you do cables for fault clearing?

Will they suit,FR704 Autel MaxiDiag OBD2 Diagnostic scanner OBDII
What about software?
The software i have is for Peugeot/Citroens.
Will the dash/code faults impair the gearbox functioning?

Alfa Singh,
"Remove all relays and plug connection to the selespeed/gbox.spray with proper switch cleaner.It worked for me "

Seems this is a problem area?
If you shut the bonnet hard on my car the pump comes on!
Will investigate during the week ,relays or wiring , something is wrong.

AlfaSpiderBoy,
"When the level goes below a certain point the System will shut down."

*How does the system detect low fluid level.

* Does this overide the pump activation when the door is opened?

*In an emergency what can you top up with?

"Alternatively, buy a bottle from your local Fiat/Alfa dealer. "
Thnks for the kind thought.
In Australia in the bush , nearest workshop that might sell Tutela is 250klms away.
Noticed the fluid drops a little when it runs so need to top-up.

*How do you recognize the fluid , what colour?
Fluid in the car is almost clear or very light apricot.

Will get some mailed to me .

Looking deeper into how Selespeed works i wonder if a door lock /switch fault can be the culprit?
As far as i can see the motivator for the pump when you open the door is the door lock mechanism, since it seems the interior light goes through the door lock/central locking mechanism?

Am i wrong?

Smart that the key activates the pump as well.

I looked through a pile of receipts today and saw that a previous owner had fitted a s/h pump a few years ago.
Pump doesn't work sometimes, checked by hot wiring the pump.

Noticed the brushes can be bought on ebay- item number:270868726847

Presume the brushes wear and make poor contact rather than a fault in the windings?
This would then mean that replacing the brushes fixes the pump?

Sprint ,
i sat down with a cup of coffee and went through the pile of receipts to trace the repair history, interesting.
A couple of years ago the pump was replaced with a s/h one and the troubles stopped for a while , then started up again , owner gave up and sold the car on. Then the next owner went through the same deal.

I have tested it when the pump is dead and with isolating the pump from the system , hot wiring it does not make it work.
Therefore the pump is the culprit .
It does work most of the time however.

My feeling is to fit a new pump and some come with a 3 year warranty.
Considering the aggravation it causes the extra money is well spent rather than a s/h pump .

When the pump doesn't work there seems to be current before the pump.
Bang the pump and it mostly works.

I feel the previous owners were let down by their mechanics who were happy to take their money.

Out of all this i got a great car for little money.
