Hey guys,
I have an 01 GTX 951 di. Last summer it puked the compressor piston in a bad way. I bought a big boat so the GTX sat half fixed until recently. I put in a new compressor rebuild kit and replaced the 4mm hose that goes from the compressor to the solenoid valve. She ran great on the hose and got full fuel pressure again. I put it in the water and ripped around for about five minutes before I got a maint message and it started running bad. I brought it back in, loaded it up and brought it home. Turns out the 4mm hose ruptured/melted again. I said ok, it's not cooling. Checked the coolant lines and found the exit that goes to the silencer seemed blocked. I blew it out and it looked like water was flowing so I decided it was fixed. Same thing... Out on the water, 4mm hose gets hot at the compressor and blows a hole.
What other reason could be that the compressor isn't cooling? Any suggestions on where to look next?
Thanks for any help!
