"Try a penetrant/lubricant like Liquid Wrench with Teflon, Royal Purple spray lube, or some other product that lubes as well as frees sticky parts.
WD40 isn't really a lubricant, and I doubt if it is the best choice for the job of freeing a sticky BPC solenoid.
I've used Liquid Wrench on faulty solenoids and it cured two permanently and one only for a week at a time, so it isn't a panacea. Some solenoids can't be revived, apparently, but if you have a faulty unit it's worth a try compared to buying a new/used one."
The debate seems to go on and on about what to use when cleaning the BPC. I did this once before and used WD-40, but then was chastised by a fellow Saab-er for doing so. I decided to search the archives and came across the above copied posting, and since I had the exact same stuff in my garage, I figured it must be good to use.
So what gives now? Would the real BPC cleaner please stand up!
If what you're saying is true ("clean it out ASAP"), why do you say that and what do you recommend I use to clean out the Liquid Wrench?
I've read where people have let their BPC's soak overnight in cleaner. Is this safe for the electrical connections? Why does this thing need to be cleaned anyway? What's inside that get's corroded?
BTW: whatever is used to clean the BPC, doesn't some of that cleaner make its way into the other parts that the BPC controls (via the 3 hoses)? Is that okay?
