What to do if the pinion does not engage on my TDI TurboTwin T100-V Controller?
- J
  John WeeksAug 1, 2025
  If the pinion doesn't engage, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that the air pressure is within the range of 40 to 150 psig. Next, verify that the control lines to the starter ports are correctly connected according to the installation diagram. Check the solenoid valve for proper operation and potential blockages; correct the wiring, remove any obstructions, or replace the solenoid valve if necessary. Finally, inspect the pinion teeth for damage and replace the pinion or starter drive if needed.

Why does the air tank pressure decay after shutdown of my TDI Controller?
- R
  Robert ThompsonAug 5, 2025
  If the air tank pressure decays after an extended shutdown, it could be due to several reasons. Start by tightening any loose air connections and repair or replace any damaged fittings. Also, check the air lines for damage such as crushing, fraying, or kinking, and replace them if necessary.

What to do if the starter runs but the engine cranks slowly on my TDI Controller?
- R
  rkelleyAug 10, 2025
  If the starter runs but the engine cranks slowly or not at all, first ensure that the air pressure is adequate and within the range of 40 to 150 psig. Also, check for excessive back pressure and inspect the exhaust. Finally, inspect the nozzle for blockages or damage; remove any obstructions or replace damaged parts.

Why does air always flow through the exhaust of my TDI TurboTwin T100-V?
- K
  Kristina PatelAug 14, 2025
  If air continuously flows through the exhaust, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check the relay valve installation against a typical installation diagram and correct any discrepancies. Then, inspect the relay valve for a damaged sealing ring, and replace the relay valve or any damaged parts if necessary. Finally, check the solenoid for proper sealing; the potential at the lead to ground should be 0. If it's not, address any ignition switch problems.

How to fix a TDI TurboTwin T100-V Controller when the starter doesn't run but there is normal airflow from the exhaust?
- M
  Michael BarnesAug 18, 2025
  If the starter doesn't run despite normal airflow from the exhaust, it may be due to excessive bends in the supply line. Try to shorten the length or straighten the supply air line.

What to do if the TDI TurboTwin T100-V Controller starter does not run, with only small airflow from the turbine exhaust?
- C
  Christopher RobertsonAug 23, 2025
  If the starter does not run and there is only a small airflow from the turbine exhaust or drive housing, it indicates a nozzle blockage. Remove any blockage or obstruction from the nozzles.

Why does my TDI TurboTwin T100-V Controller starter engage but not run?
- B
  Brenda ByrdAug 27, 2025
  If the starter engages but doesn't run, it could be due to a faulty relay valve. Replace the relay valve.
