SMG Pump Failure

[RAFiK]

Oil Purchased !

Okay, I went in a trip to Sharjah hoping to find the CHF and thankfully i found one ! Went flying back home ....

I reached n i filled the tank and started the manual bleeding process ... I started shifting gears while having the ignition in position 2 and re-filled the tank to the correct level ... took the car for a test drive and SMG fault went away ....

I'll take it to *** after New Year... I'll keep you guys updated in the mean while !

did you fix the leak or not yet, i guess it would probably be the smg pump leaking!!

[RAFiK]

I didn't fix the leak yet... I'm planning to put the car at *** on Saturday morning!

Hope you get it fixed soon and keep us updated Rifo :)

[RAFiK]

sure will do :)...

I was at *** today and it turned out that my leak is coming from the Actuator which pushes the clutch in !!! & that could be the reason why my clutch is slipping sometimes because there isn't enough pressure in the Actuator to engage the clutch..

Just ordered it from Germany using DHL shipping method.. Will keep you guys updated !

How much is it for?

[Bruno]

i think he told me something like 900.. 1100 with shipping

[RAFiK]

The price that you will get from AGMC or ADM is around 1400 AED ... but I'm getting it for 915 AED and DHL order for another 200 AED ...

Good deal, money saved spent on installation.

CLUTCH !!

I forgot to update you guys.... okay I've got an interesting story to tell !

So I bought the actuator, took it to *** and got it fixed. It took 15 minutes to remove the old actuator and install the new actuator BUT it took them & I from 8.30 AM to 2 PM to bleed the god damn SMG .. I bled the entire assembly around 12 times until finally it got okay.

NEW INFO !!
I've been driving the car for almost 2 weeks with the new actuator but I was not completely satisfied with the performance of the clutch and the slipping point ...etc.

I took the car for HPDS and TADA!!! Car stopped and SMG Fault came up !! I stopped to check the SMG oil level and it was okay. I tried to switch the car on but it wouldn't !!

I tried shifting gears when car was in ignition position 2 but gears won't shift !! I ended up towing the car back to Dubai and driving the club's car.. Shak called me today to tell me that my clutch was BROKEN into two pieces !!! Luckily there was a clutch kit in Shj AGMC so i bought it and I will deliver it to *** around 2.30 PM this after noon .... I'll keep you guys updated..

meanwhile, here are some pics of the new clutch..
