so i disassembled my charger yesterday to change the oil and have a look at the inside for wastage

pics:

for the people that can't get enough of my naked engine bay







disassembly of the pulley:











after that i tipped out the oil. sorry for the bad pics. the color looked like icetea just a bit thicker.

that stuff stinks terrible - i nearly passed out when i opened the oil drain screw *gg*





there didn' come out much oil (there should be about 100ml). for comparison: in the left bottle there are about 100ml of water, in the right the oil i caught from the charger



next: housing





a pic of my ride if anything would have gone wrong



the rotor pack had a few scratches but was in a good condition as far as i saw. clearance was ok too.



the inside



a few scratches too, but not so bad like a buddy's charger i saw some time ago







i couldn't get loctite510 so i bought this. its for seal up gearboxes and engines, so i think it will work with the charger aswell



that stuff stinks even worse then the oil



assembly



i didn't want to wait for some special eaton charger oil so i bought gearbox oil (75w90). we'll see how clever that was...







that damned ring - i had no fitting pliers so i tried to put it back on with two small screwdrivers and it worked



nearly completed



ready to put it back in.




incl. testdrive it took me about 6 hours. it can be done much faster i guess but i didn't want to ruin the charger.

as there was less oil left i'll open it again in 10-15000km to check how much oil i'm loosing.

I need to try to remember my German....

Thank you, thank you, 4 years of highschool German led to me butchering the two phrases I remember (aside from all that train station junk)

lol i learned italian for 5 years and all i can remember are stupid sentences like

I mezzi pubblici are molto importante per me.
Non parlo italiano molto bene.
