Hey guys about a month ago I put on a set of swift sport spec r lowering springs on my evo x fq 300 sst. After the installation I noticed the sawc service required light came on. After doing various checks I realized that it was the ayc / acd pump that was damaged. It's going to take me while to get a new pump shipped to jamaica and since my evo is my dd I'm wondering if it would be safe to drive the car with the damaged pump until I get the new pump. Please I really need your help.

 

You will be fine. There's a lot of people that have driven with a broken pump and nothing has happened to them.

 

wife drove her X with the pump out for 2 years / 30k miles without an issue

 

Wow dat was long. What did she do with that annoying sawc service required light that keeps coming on.

 

complained about it all of the time lol / there is now way to get it off unfortunately . I luckily put it off so long that the recall came out, so all is good now .

I was just in Jamaica, very nice car culture !

 

Oh my only a pity i didn't know i could showed you that place and have a few beers as well.

 

I'm just glad that their wont be any severe damage driving with the damaged pump. I'll hopefully get it sorted out in about a month or so.

 

yeah I think the only job of the pump is to move the hydraulic fluid around. The ACD won't work but you are fine driving as is. I guess it's like not having traction control from what I understand.

 

I was thinking that it was during the installation of the springs the mechanic damaged something. But the light came on two after, after i had gotten the car back from the car wash. How this got damaged is a mystery. But glad to know the evo can still be driven.

 

I think there is something through Mitsubishi on that now maybe you could work something out I got something in the mail on it.

 

Buddy ran with it messed up for like 3 years lol never fixed it

 

Where you at in JA? I'm originally from Kingston but live in Canada now

 

I live in negril

 

Nice. I always try to make a trip to 7-mile beach when i'm visiting but last time I couldn't schedule it in :/

 

Next time you are around shout me and we have a few beers.
