Vcu fix ????????????????????

geordielad · Dec 7, 2010

i was talking to a chap this week with a freelander who works in a automotive college in liverpool. his vcu seized at 53000mls, he took it off clamped one side in a huge vice, put a large bar on the other end & spent the next 2 hours turning it ( with a lot of effort to begin with). he then put it back on the car, the car now has 84000mls on it & he reckons its still working well, ive got no reason not to belive him so what do you think???????

I think I saw this exact post a few days ago? If it was that easy nobody would bother with Recon VCU's or putting the car into Mondo mode. If it's true (the story above) the VCU probably wasn't even seized to begin with.

:doh: the car has more than enough torque to turn it so why would turning it by hand make any difference.

Sounds well iffy to me.

Why repeat the same post again, you originally posted this word for word on the 5th Dec

Wot u saying yer thick turd

This will do naff all! There is massive amounts of torque transmitted through the driveline, sticking a bar on it and turning it will do nothing. If the VCU is seized solid (very unlikely) the IRD or/and diff wouldn't last more than a few yards.

If you're planning on repeating all your posts then it's probably best if you don't bother keeping us updated.

Why are yu posting stuff that already exists in detail on this site?
If yu or the OP could be bothered to look, VCU investigations, tests, alternative systems and even results of tests are all to be found on this site.

Multiple posts containing the exact same wording along with a snippy attitude re being ignored won't generate enthusiastic responses.

Vcu fix ????????????????????
