Something must have been wrong in the past, either miss-matched tyres or the car was driven for a long time with a soft tyre. My TD4 has 149k miles on it and the VCU wasn't too bad.It was 5kg at 1.2m, was 126k miles. VCU was on an L series. Tyres were all identical and pretty much same tread depth. Was on a vehicle I bought at auction for £300 so expected something knackered. Tested the VCU once I had replaced the IRD
Can just about turn the VCU with a 4' bar on it so should be able to get the old goo out of it. Going to leave it to drain for a couple of days before I put white spirit into it
Goes to show how a VCU can be completely stuffed long before it should be.
Good luck with it though as sounds like a nice project, a lot of folk here swear by the L series.
