theskivingscholar Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Was the issue related to the tune at all? Probably hard to determine I guess.Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk No it wasn’t. It was taken back to stock map and it still did it. As I’m the third owner I’d say it’s been driven hard and unfortunately for me it decided to go when I had it. I had it at 57k and it was fine for a while. One of those things I guess. It was a definitely a mechanical fault in the end. It’s all good now 😄 PhilC22 and theskivingscholar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a video recently (possibly from a link on this forum ? ) that indicated that the transfer case/bevel box/angle drive fault (where the takeoff gear spins on the shaft) seemed to mostly happen on tuned cars that had done a significant number of hard takeoffs and/or LC's. That would make sense to me as extra power comes from extra torque, and with the traction of AWD and the torque multiplication of 1st gear there is a lot of strain placed on the drivetrain when using LC. Here is the video I was thinking of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt33-EgQ4gk theskivingscholar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t have LC as it’s a manual. I did find out that it’s possible to launch a manual but it’s really bad for the drivetrain etc so I reckon whoever had it before had been doing that as when I went stage 2 with it, the clutch and flywheel were proper knackered. It was fine after for a while then it just started producing the fault 🤷♂️ gregozedobe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for posting that, very interesting and useful info. gregozedobe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
