VC test.

Post by brorabongo » Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:19 am

I'm I having a blonde moment? I can not find the post with details on how to test your viscous coupler.

Anyone remember how to do it?

Cheers.

I'm going to ask my garage to check my VC but I'm just a little unsure what DemonAV is referring to when he says
If the turn of 90 degrees must be 30 seconds or more than viscus sleeve work
Specifically what this bit means
must be 30 seconds or more
Can someone clarify please.

The way I read this is :

Jack up a front wheel, and try to turn it using a force of 59nm.

If you can turn it through 90° freely, or in less than 30 seconds, then the VC is not working (or the chain is missing)

If it takes more than 30 seconds to complete the 90° turn, then the VC is working correctly.

Seems to make sense to me when interpreted that way.
