VIS Tester Now Available. - Page 5

black olive · 20th May 2009, 21:06

Ive just completed a tester and can offer a checking and repair service in the lancs area

deepfat · 10th August 2009, 15:57

All this is fascinating and I think I should have mine checked, is there anybody near me with a tester I live in Holbeach, Lincs. If not is anyone going to the Longbridge photo shoot with one, it could be an added incentive to try and make it.
Lastly has anybody tried sourcing the motor on its own to effect repairs? Im currently at a loose end and if anyone can supply motor details or even a duff one, I would gladly try.
AND ALL ALONG I THOUGHT VIS WAS A COMIC

Hi Peter,

VIS motors, where do we start

.

All the electrical parts are available, relays, switches and even motors. The motors take a bit of tracking down but Russ and I bought our last batch of 50 from America

.

The plan was to supply replacement VIS motors for club members at cost. the motors wouls contain all new electrical parts.

The stumbling block is the PCB. not only the placing of the tracks but the exact placing of the components and more importantly the unusual shape of the PCB its self. Bigruss managed to track down a supplier in Germany who can produce them, however they cannot simply copy a board. it has to be presented to them in a certain format that we have not yet mastered.

Your input is most welcome. if you need use of the club tester just PM JDC and for thee price of postage ( both ways, its yours to use

)

Hi all I dont know if mine have a problem or not the engine starts to pull at 3000 rpm up to 7000 when the rev limiter cuts in and im getting 26.9 av mpg mostly country lane driving.
If anyone is close to Toddington, Bedfordshire it would be nice to have them checked as I only have my wifes mgf 1.8i to compair it to

Sounds about right Martin, VIS valves are active around 3k and 4.5k depending on throttle position.

Get yourself to a meet and I/We have built that many now somebody will have one

Hi Dave, Thanks for that having had a 300TDI range Rover before it's a totally diffrent beast. Do you have any meets in the Bedfordshire / Buckinghamshire aera and I can't find any previous ones on the forum.

Hi. In this discussion I have the feeling that the VIS valves are a "teeth sucking" expense item.

As I suspect one or both of mine has gone bosoms up I have logged into Rimmers and find the cost is £70.56 for one and £81.60 for the other.

Now in the scheme of things and the price of spares for washing machines etc this does not appear to be an amount to be pulling one's hair out over.

My query is, would this be the correct price for the complete part for part swap?

Sounds about right + Vat + Delivery

MKE 100102
MKE 100110

No change out of around £175 for the pair IIRC

Edit don't forget to take the rubber seals from underneath the old ones and fit to the new ones

Hi Thank you for your prompt reply, the way the thread was leaning I was under the impression thatI would need a second mortgage. A good battery costs about £70/80 these days and that is not high tech to get some idea of comparison.

I will order them in the morning and keep the old ones to have a look at.

stocktake · 17th September 2009, 19:55

No problem,

Have a look here for comparison between tho old power VIS
MKE 100100 and the replacwment MKE 100102
