It´s exactly like you guys described it: It is a workaround made by S&S to prevent any belt overheating. With this little improvement the belt should last 10.000 – 15.000 kilometers.

2.) The noise generated by the bevel box is significantly reduced. They changed the oil but they recommended to use a belt spray like this every few hundred kilometers to prevent any noise generated by the belt: http://www.ebay.de/itm/38-75-1L-Keilriem...=item2ecf1fa0c4

3.) One last information about the pedal setting: The former model years they drilled holes to make it easier to move the pedal set by yourself. Since 2014 they don´t do this anymore in the factory, which makes it even harder to do this little job on your own. Anyway: I´m very happy that the Service Station did that for me and the new position is by far more comfy compared to the position of the pedals before…

Take care!

Alex.


Hi Alex, thanks tip on spray. My belt hasn't made any noise yet as far as I can tell. The pedals on the later car have an extra set of holes, the rest have rubber bungs. The bolts holding the pedals are captive so moving them isn't a big deal even without raising the car. So if you need to move yours back, do it yourself, just don't overtighten. I guess the LHD version is the same maybe they don't drill them all thinking all Germans are the same size perhaps.. morgan logic drive
Happy driving Alex
