I have just fitted a secondhand prop as a replacement for the front one which the garage had removed saying this was the cause of my vibration etc and the nasty metallic smell.
I purchased the secondhand unit and fitted myself due to cost from garage; this is when i noticed the vibration and the smell again after about 10 miles driving.
When i came home checked underneath and this is when i found out the VCU was B***** Hot by accidentally touching it - felt soooo much like i had touched the exhaust, so too check i spat on it and it hissed and dried virtually straight away.
The car has done about 70k now
Can anyone say with certainty that the VCU is Kaput? As it is so hot I can only assume it has affected the support bearings too.
