My September 2012 build has a compensator that may either need just a lube or...?
I get a high pitched rattle and ratcheting when the car has very little or no stress on the drive-line. Never under acceleration or engine braking, just coasting.
I gather from the previous posts that this is one of the original units and not the Centa. I don't even know if it has a zirk fitting on it to re-lube it!
I admit that I have been very vocal in saying that lugging this engine is a big no-no and I also live by those words. I have well over 17,000 miles on the car and aside from eating rear sprockets it has performed like a trouper.
Any thoughts as to which compensator is in this and just what is it that I am listening to?
2012 will be pre Centra as these on;y came in on 2014 models.
As for a zirk - some had this some hadn't - a look under the crankcase will show a hole if it does. The zirk can be retrofitted, however I've decided to "upgrade" my 2013 no zerk for a Centra to hopefully put an end to any future compensator issues (we need a fingers crossed smiley
)
