What was the length of bar? (distance from pivot point to weight connection)
1.2m would put a force of 9.8 x 5 x 1.2 = 59Nm on the drive shaft. The same weight/force applied to a new vcu would take about 35 seconds which is interesting.
Yes, they have their own recipes of which fluid they use and how much, which they will fiercely dictate is betterer than new and other recon providers. Very few post results of recon vcu's as the reconner's prefer to tell them our test is a load of crap. I've been told by many sources that they've been told not to post results of their recon vcu doing our tests. Hence it's good that you have told us of your results. It will help others compare their results.
i agree , just had my vcu and bearing carriers done, landy had done 73k its reccomended 70k is safe zone im informed by shropshires leading 4x4 repairer this torque test is laughable when all you need to do is put car in reverse on full lock and see if it reverses smooth, plus adhere to the 70k rule and no probs.
to many folk go buy car ...cause it looks nice, no research , no info on what faults to pre empt, i did ..hence i got vcu done part of the deal, did erg by pass, did bmw pcv change, made sure it had proper full service..plus full service history.. but then my dealer is spot on, he even put 2 new tyres on front as the rear had been done and front down to 4 mm...ive just heard slight rattle from front.. straight in and found its crank pulley..new one mon..simple pre emptiveOh dear, that'll upset a few in this section. True though.
Shropshire's leading 4x4 repairers - ooohhh I'm impressed. I bet they are **** hot, or is that just **** - one of the 2.
Good on you mate. You obviously know what you're talking about and everyone on this forum, except @wammers of course, are absolute tossers who can't look after their motors. Should we all delete www.landyzone.co.uk from our browser history and set www.jjtech56.com to our homepage?
common sense, has it done over 70k...then change it, like the cambelt story..yes i do know td4 has chain, thousands cars out there suffer engine wreck when belt goes..have mate whos went june...72k was change time or 5y...he has done 114k ..9y old ..moaning like hell 1100 quid repair..reality is people buy cars they cant affort to run and maintain..skimp on maintainance ...and pay the cost...feel free to use my home page...lol..
