WHY NOT TO USE — DIY SUPERCHARGER OIL REPLACEMENT KITS WITH SYRINGE……

posted in: GTT Blog & News

DIY SUPERCHARGER OIL REPLACEMENT KITS WITH SYRINGE…… we have seen this a few times where people use these kits to refill/replace the superchargers oil through the drain plugs. This is highly risky as you do not know the condition of the internals and by topping up you unknowingly are mixing new oil with all the old sludge/swarf/dust etc making a sort of grinding paste….. see what happens below…

NEW SPEC ‘PTO PLUS’ REBUILD…. In addition to installing new GTT Uprated PTO Gear Set, GTT Spindle, uprated bearings & seals with an oil change. (See link below)… PTO Plus rebuild now also Includes Removing Snout & inspecting bearings, GTT uprated Coupler installed + Flushing out & Oil Change!….. Removing & Inspecting rotor pack condition (checking for excessive end float) + dressing out any high spots on the rotors causing rubbing to casing or each other + Cleaning of rotors and inside of rotor housing + Repacking Rotor needle rollers grease.

BMW can now only supply recon units from Eaton at a whopping £3450 (inc vat) and above…,second hand units of ‘unknown condition’ becoming both scarce and more expensive, a GTT rebuild on your own charger makes much more sense.
