Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
You can do either according to Sean
You can either machine 4mm off the bottom of it
Or drill the center hole out to 16mm
Either would be a temporary fix until the new top hat arrives
Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
Sean - thanks for the help on the phone earlier and for clearing up on here. Great that this is getting sorted quickly - can't be helped about bank holiday weekend
Si - find someone with a bench drill (as you want it to be straight really) and run a 16mm bit...
Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
Si - the top hat on the upper gearbox mount - measure the thickness of it
Should be 11mm apparently - but ours are 15mm
But yeah I think all of them are faulty from 1st March up to friday when chrispy told K-Tec
They've got 45 orders to re-do
Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
I ordered mine last week in february - was sent out 1st march
He said all march deliveries are faulty
The bolt should stand up 4mm more than in my pic - so you should really be able to see the first thread
If you put your hand under the battery tray...
Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
I have bad vibrations from fitting the mounts yeah - dashboard rattles at 3.5-4k but I assumed that was just because they are group N mounts
Searching on here half the threads say no extra vibration, half say loads - so I was just gonna live with it
Now I...
Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
Woop - Sean is uber-helpful
Right vibratechnics have agreed that they've been machined wrong - everyone who's had a set since March 1st will be getting a replacement top hat in the post ASAP
The new top hat is 4mm shorter - and the top recess is machined for a...
Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
Abso-f**king-lutely marvellous
Just whipped my battery off and checked mine - everything is tight, the big bolt coming up from the gearbox isn't loose at all - but that rubber bush on the bottom is rattling around completely loose
Not impressed - with how much...
Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
Yeah thats what I did - swapped those bolts so they come up from under
The point I'm trying to make is that top metal plate has a recess machined into it - which the nut on my gearbox mount would slot into and drop down 3mm to allow you to get more threads on...
Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
Hrmm even more bizarrely - the photo on KTR's website shows quite a big cutout in the top of that plate to allow the nut to drop further down into it
Re: K-tec Gearbox Mount Problem
Bit of a worry as I only got my mounts 2 weeks ago
Think I'll pull the battery off this weekend and check that it's ok
That picture of poweys worries me - surely there should be more bolt come up through the nut than that??
By the way - the seat of the nut on...
What a s**t thread - seems to have attracted every tw*t on here
Just because your/my idea of the "ultimate clio" isn't the same as Ryans - why talk so much s**t?
My idea of an ultimate clio is my cup with nice comfy leather recaros and a nice sound system. Other peoples idea of ultimate clios...
I'm gonna go against the grain here and say it probably is too big for a bedroom - depending on the size
I have a 50" in the front room and a 32" in the bedroom
Cheers mate - that wood auto website says 7701499959 is the same as 7700105333 and 8200392926
That ebay auction lists the last 2 numbers - so im 99.9% sure its right
£95 seems a bargain as people on here are asking £125 for a second hand one!!!
Just hoping I can replace it now without having...
Just found this after loads of searching
I put 7701499959 into google and got this -> http://www.woodauto.com/Unit.aspx?Man=VALEO&Ref=A11VI88
So that seems to confirm A11VI88 is the right unit
Renault want £102+vat - HOWEVER...
Bump - can anyone tell me what the code is?
My alternator doesn't have a sticker anywhere - Renault say there is about 6 different ones it can be
The A11V and TG8S ones are £102+vat from renault - which is cheaper than people want second hand
But I need the actual part code before they can...
Arggh the part number is supposed to be on a sticker - well that's fantastic. I have literally no way of finding out which valeo alternator is on my car and Renault can't supply me with one without the part code
Fantastic
Wow this is a nightmare
Just been on phone to Renault - they are all based on an exchange but even giving chassis number and reg plate they can't narrow down what alternator I have
He gave me these codes
A13V1259 & A13VI00 - as £180 + vat but said they are used on the big cars with air con...
Where did those prices come from Marc? Are they renault prices?
If so that aint bad at all - I might just buy a brand new one
I bet my back teeth mine is one of the £180+vat ones though
