The split ring we used is in the CV joint, so it's far less of a problem. Yeah, I certainly wouldn't mess around with it anywhere near the speed grinder. That split ring seemed to weather the adventures okay. The only reason we used that as a split ring is because nobody around here stocks...
Well, there you go. So this all started out as a CV boot swap.
Followed the YouTube video for weekend fun and the like:
Fast forward to the bit at 3:15 (parting CV joint with a hammer), and cue the entire axle coming right out of the gearbox and dumping liquid fun all over my brother-in-law's...
Couldn't replicate the issue. Engine is relatively cold only having been brought from the car park to the front of our house and started a couple of times for less than a minute for these tests. Hmph. I wouldn't like to imagine if it is something critical like rod bearings since we can nary...
Hi guys - haven't been on for a while since I had the CV joint issue. That's all fixed now. No biggie.
Noted a weird thing a few weeks back though. When changing gears and pulling off/re-applying throttle the gearbox feels like its making a knocking noise or something isn't re-engaging...
Hey guys. Our 1,0l K11 has been running fine since we got her other than a paired of screwed CV joints. Our son pointed out a weird thing which we also noticed ourselves on a 3,0hr round trip yesterday. Every once in a while, the car feels like it decelerates for a fraction of a second. Not like...
Bit of a weird one this - perhaps - however our 1.0l K11 makes a strange rattling when driving either under full lock from standstill or when turning left hard at low speeds. I can't feel the rattle through the steering column and the noise appears louder inside the cabin than it does outside...
Terve Porista....
We just bought a 109,000km K11 a couple of weeks ago and could do with fixing it up to daylight running. 40€ sounds a lot for a simple 12v relay so I might modify the lights with some LED strips instead or something. What's the legality of smoked light clusters here? I'm a UK...
