Wet grass test????It is possible, although unlikely, that the VCU has failed in "Mondo" mode. Wet grass test will check that.

yes.... basically get the car on wet grass and floor it. check that VCU locks up and transmits drive to rear wheels.
Now it will answer all and be fun doing lol

Either that's a dodgy recon unit, a recon unit tailored to transmit a lower level of tiorque, or the guy at GKN missed a few plates out when he put that VCU together. 20 seconds on a VCU, especially one that's not new, is to quick.

Sounds OK to me. I imagine your mechanic will also be at a loss, unless he's well up VCU drive trains.
Try the OWUT again but use 5Kg at 1.2M. You'll find it gives about 30 seconds for the 45° rotation, which is perfect.

Ah yes - didn't spot it was with 8kg, it does sound like a reasonable result then.
Will try with 5kg .Just glad I starting to understand how it all works.Sounds OK to me. I imagine your mechanic will also be at a loss, unless he's well up VCU drive trains.

All keep eye on rear seal.
But if needing fixed all soon sort it
Now to start looking at all the mods to fit
