Could anyone confirm where the relief spring is on a S6 please? I bought a new spring, but the one I thought I was replacing is a different size so not sure if I´ve got it wrong, or been sent the wrong part.

Thanks.

The one I´ve been sent is much smaller than the one in my engine. Was that the same for you?

Yep, must be about half the size as the one in my engine.
I left the old one in place after some checking to see whether it was on its last legs or not.

I´ve done the same. Not sure I can be bothered trying to get it swapped for the sake of 6 quid or so.

Cheers for the info.
