  1. You are in the right direction as the fuel pump noise means the system is powered up. The cannot connect to Ecuador usually means the software is not seeing the right port. Auto setting should find it but I had a similar issue and ended up specifying a port, in my case port 5. If your laptop has multiple USB ports try different ones to see if the auto selection finds it, you will know when connected as a green box with OK in it will appear on screen instead of the red one. You may have to recharge the system a couple of times by disconnecting the power and reconnecting for the software to connect to the ecu. Good luck, keep us posted, it is very interesting and fun when working

  2. I dont think you can unless you destroy the waterpump...which I did as I knew it was done for and had a new one. The gear is a heat fit which is dropped on the shaft after the circlip is installed but if you heat the gear you may affect the seal.

     

    My suggestion would be to put a gasket between and retry to see if the noise goes away before doing anything drastic. The lack of bits in your coolant would seem to indicate that the impeller is not worn away like mine was.

  3. Does the pump cover get very hot? This is why I asked about coolant Color as I had an issue once with the plastic pump impeller rubbing on the pump case which made a funny noise, and eventually ruined the pump.mperhaps the noise is more apparent at a certain revolution range such as produced by second gear. To correct this I noticed that there was no gasket on the 300 between the casing and waterpump although one was listed in the parts book. I made a thin one from gasket material (because of the wear I ultimately replaced the pump as well as the fins had worn down) and the issue was totally solved.

  4. mark where it is before you loosen the screw so you can always go back to where you started.

     

    it does not take much of an adjustment to make a change so invest some time and do it in small steps

  5. Ian, you need to hold the other end of the shaft with a torx through the breather elbow hole by the shift lever, which should be blanked by a small screw on your 2013. You just have to jam the torx through the hole and into the clutch fixer rod which is the thing you are trying to tighten
