I know this has been mentioned on a few other posts, but I can't find any detail.
The Rave manual says only the 1.8 K series has a torsional damper on the VCU.
I have a L Series 2L diesel and it definitely has one. Because I was travelling on
a badly corrugated road today and all of a sudden had this horrible clanking coming
from under the car. I've just replaced the radiator after developing a leak in that and thought "What now !!! "
Looked under the car and there it was - the rubber membrane that sits between the outer
ring and the inner hub seems to have failed and the outer ring has slipped
off the back of the inner hub and is clanking about the output shaft.
I pushed it back on and was able to drive home, but it still seems to be slipping backwards.
If the other models don't have it, is it necessary, and could I remove the ring and be OK.
Having just forked out for a radiator, I really don't have the $$$ for this right now and I have
to drive 400k's to Perth (Australia) and back, in the next couple of weeks.
Any thoughts....??
