More Viscous hub woes
Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 6:21 pm
Hey all,
A while ago I had some overheating issues with my TD42 Mav while going up a long hill on a hot day. I examined the viscous hub and decided to refill it with the Toyota oil. All went fine but I can now see in the engine bay that the oil has spun out of the hub and it's feeling quite loose again! :(
There was no wobble to the shaft of the hub so I assumed that the bearing was OK, so I'm thinking that the large oring gasket is causing the leak.
I phoned Nissan today and was told that the oring was not available and a new hub would set me back $440!!!!!
Can anyone suggest anything to fix my hub or maybe where I can get a new oring?
Thanks all!
