Boc in Bits

[chuckb]

The Bocanegra (Nope not a Cupra with a paint job)

Is at the Dealers and has been disembowel'd by the technicians, the gear box is now in bits and the twin clutches are apart and parts are ordered today. Looks like they have done their homework and possibly have worked out what the rattling is. They are ordering all the additional parts for that and the turbo so hopefully things are looking up.

I am now the proud temporary owner of an Altea XL and have to say these words

I really like driving it..................... there its said and done. Will update as the job progresses so us rattly gearbox owners may have something to suggest to their dealers.


I am trying to be all sunshine and positive

Interested too see what they found, nothing on elsa pro about gearbox issues yet.

 

[chuckb]

Will do mate. Here did you get flashed by a Fiesta Zetec S this morning? One of my students mums thought it was me and gave you the big flash (S' ok no body parts were displayed by her)

 

[yea_good_1]

i didnt think the dsg boxes could be taken apart cant remember who told me but they said they looked up on a parts system and there was no internal parts listed?

 

[Spurt]

Errr dont remember seeing a fiesta. I went past pinewood too work this morning and most mornings now, uxbridge road is boring its only good on the way home where i can hit a nice speed

Anything can be taken apart with enough force. Mazda say rotarys dont but they do! Just dont go back together very well.

Well maybe they are learning something. Master Tech told me the above when he rang me today. Knows Im a bit of a car geek mentioned he has had to order specialist tools to do the job and hopefully things are progressing.

There is so much hear say and rumours surrounding the gear boxes on here and other forums. He seems pretty switched on and knows his stuff will leave him to it.

 

[chuckb]

Yeah was in Langley you were coming towards Langley Road from yours

 

[Spurt]

Probs was me just didnt see. I heard the apprentice is stripping your gearbox.....

 

[chuckb]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo chimp with a spanner and a lump hammer

 

[Spurt]

what dealer you using mate?

 

[chuckb]

SMC Windsor. Change of staff and management seems to have made a bit of a difference, see what happens

 

[chuckb]

Probably use the 1.9 Caddy van from work though, Especially as the weather looks poo and may hopefully have the Boc back by the weekend

 

[techie]

The clutch etc on our gearboxes is in the dry side of the gearbox so you can get to all that without opening the high pressure side.

Have been doing a bit of nerdy research and thats what I had read.

So Ross what do you want, when you want one?
