rodders Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 just had a loud banging from under car. discovered casing has come off and spining on rear prop shaft. does that make it knackered? or can you still drive (i pushed it back on) if its gone how much are they and is it easy to replace?

Mr Bean Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Just run a search on VCU or viscous coupling and your questions will be answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 hello done a search and also checked other forums and decided to remove the lot for now. this turned out to be quite easy which supprised me! what i would like to know is now off the bit thats broke is the damper which are pretty cheap to get hold of so is it worth replacing or has this broke due to vcu being broke?

Llanigraham Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 The damper doesn't do a lot, and lots of people have just cut them off. It doesn't seem to have any connection with a failed or failing VCU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
