Re: Ac compressor to condenser hose/pipe

I presume that is code for 'the garage destroyed it getting it off'? Did they get the smaller one off ok?

I may have one kicking about. I'll try and get out to the workshop over the weekend and have a look.

Re: Auxiliary Coolant Pump

They all eventually fail hot, some sooner than others. The valves no longer close properly and so hot coolant is always flowing through the cores regardless of what the HVAC is set to. I've been through several valve blocks in mine to try and solve it, with varying degrees of failure. I hoped a d3 ...

Re: Auxiliary Coolant Pump

It wasn't an easy solution unfortunately , as it requires a lot of design and fabrication to fit the various bits in the D2 space. There are numerous other models which use a water-blending solution including Audis and BMWs at least, probably others. A combination of C6 / C7 pump and valves seemed ...

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls

Well, its not that obvious. The 5HP19 for example has to be assembled horizontally as its clutch drums will come apart if you do it vertically. You'd assume it would be the same as the 24, but its quite different inside.

Re: Gearbox failure at 90,000mls

Not doable I'm afraid, mostly because the gearbox needs to be vertical, sitting on its tailshaft flange, to get it to go back together. Its practically impossible to get the gubbins back inside while gravity is messing with the clutch packs. When I did mine I took it apart on the bench, but to get ...

Re: AC Compressor for D2 S8

Slightly cheaper on their app as well compared to PC.

I refuse to buy from them until they stop using Evri though.
