General Repair / Hydro Hot nozzle access
Last post by Rocky Road -
My 2005 Magna 630 has a hydro hot on the driver's side. It has been emitting blue smoke while running. The filter is fresh and I am suspecting the burner nozzle. Does anybody knowhow to access the nozzle? The hydro hot is backed into the compartment and there doesn't have any way to get at the back side of it where the burner is. On the passenger side is the coach batteries. I slid them out, but the compartment appears to be sealed. Any help is appreciated.

Chassis/Engine Repair / Re: Change Hydraulic Fluid
Last post by SteveC -
Not sure if its the same procedure, but I did have this saved.

As published in the AUTUMN 2005 issue of Country Coach Destinations,  the procedure for replacing the oil in the hydraulic reservoir is:

1) First ensure that the engine is not running and cannot be started accidentally by a colleague.
2) Next, locate the hydraulic oil reservoir that is typically mounted to the right of the engine compartment on a DynoMax chassis.
3) Loosen the top band clamp that secures the lid in place and set both the clamp and the lid aside.
4) Using a handheld fluid transfer pump, commonly available in most auto parts stores, extract as much used oil from the reservoir as possible and discard it into a suitable waste oil container.
5) Now unscrew the wing nut and washer that clamps the three hydraulic filters together and replace them with new filters.
6) Don't forget to replace the wing nut and washer and tighten them down to secure the new filters in place.
7) Lastly, fill the hydraulic reservoir with fresh oil of the correct type and viscosity for your coach until it just covers the top surface of the upper oil filter.
8) Replace the lid and band clamp; then continue adding oil through the dipstick opening until it reaches the cold full level on the dipstick. Recheck the oil level when the system has reached normal operating temperature and add or remove oil as necessary.

General Repair / Tecma Toilet Replacement
Last post by CharlieS3 -
I am purchasing a new to me 2006 Intrique 42.    We boondock for 2 months every summer and truck in our water.  I understand the Tecma Toilet is a water hog.    There are several electric replacements.    What are the best options from a water consumption standpoint?  A bidet option is a bonus!  I understand that gravity toilets are not an option, correct?

I have searched the forums and was surprised not to find an answer to this. 

Thanks for your help!  I am looking forward to joining as an owner.

Thanks
Charlie

Chassis/Engine Repair / Re: Wiring Drawings / Schematics for 2001 Country Coach Intrigue 40'
Last post by Ejsieber -
Greetings Mark, have you had any success? 

I am brand new to this forum, and RVing generally as well as Country Coach specifically by way of our recent purchase of a 2002 40’ Intrigue.  I’m a “car guy” doing my own mechanical on my 60’s Pontiacs and multiple 05 Cadillacs, so I have some mechanical knowledge.  That said, I am presently reviewing all the paperwork that came with our coach and there are quite a few folded sheets that look like electrical schematics.  It’s possible what you need is there (albeit one year newer).

Do you still need this info?  Please feel free to call me (866) 987-6112.

Chassis/Engine Repair / DPF
Last post by Hilblee -
2008 Tribute, C9S.  Half way cross Nebraska and my DPF light starts blinking.  Stopped at a rest stop and did a Regen.  20 mins later--check eng light and flashing DPF light.  Stopped at next town and called cat shop.  They are sending a tech sometime tomorrow to check it out.  Any opinions?

Site Instructional Guides / Water temp sensor location
Last post by CanyonLakeBob -
Does anyone know where CC installed the water temp sensor is on a 2006 Inspire with a C-9 Cat engine.  This is the sensor that feeds the dash gauge.  I have been advised by Premier RV that the part # is a VDO 323-419B sensor, but can't locate it on the engine. I know where the Cat installed coolant sensor is in front of the valve cover.  My water temp dash gauge is reading 20 degrees higher than the computer readout I just paid for to determine why my engine warning light came on.  A failed Cat oil pressure sensor was the cause.  FYI, I am the original owner of this coach and have experienced failures of the Cat installed turbo boost pressure sensor, the atmospheric pressure sensor, and a fuel pressure sensor, all of which are excessively overpriced replacement parts by Cat.

General Repair / Re: Removing Kwikee steps for repair
Last post by MJB -
Hi if your step moves in and out independently of the door being opened/closed check the "ball" contacts on the door and door frame and adjust/clean to ensure proper engagement. We had an issue with step deploying while driving, temp fix was to put some tin foil on the contacts until I could adjust it.

Chassis/Engine Repair / Location of Engine Diagnostic Port
Last post by jedaz -
Hi - I am in the process of buying a 2007 CC Magna. It has the Cummins ISX engine. I will be taking it to a Cummins tech for an engine inspection - part of which I would think is connecting a diagnostic tool to the engine. Does anyone know where the diagnostic port is on this model CC/engine? Thanks.
