VY Gear Lever Boot Replacement Made Easy
There have been a few concerns raised about fitting new gear lever boots to VY 6-speed shifters. The Pass. SIP
procedure is OK – but some boots may be hard to ‘stretch’ over the base of the shift lever! In these cases – there are
existing small cuts in the shifter boot material between the four stitched ends at the lever hole – just increase the depth
of the each cut by 2mm and the boot will more readily stretch over the lever.
V & W Car – Pinion Seal Oil “Weeps” or “Leaks”?
A small amount of oil “weepage” may be found near the rear axle pinion seal - at pre-delivery or first service.
Note that assembly oil is applied to the pinion seal during manufacture to ensure good bed-in, as when the axle is in
service, the seal is lubricated by the internal diff oil. Trials conducted at the supplier show that up to 8mL of oil can be
drained "off" the housing following the current oiling process!
This could be the source of the "weep" and the perceived "leaks" reported by Retailers.
An alternative lubrication method is being tested so that this perceived weep or leak does not occur in future.
Please do not replace pinion seals before cleaning the pinion nose/seal area and assessing for actual leakage.
Gen III Engine Replacement
When fitting a GenIII V8 “G3A” engine – the engine supplied may carry a different oil sender; or valley cover (2004
engines carry internal PCV components). If these parts on the new engine differ from the old engine - ensure you
exchange the parts – do not attempt to upgrade the old engine to the new engine’s PCV system.
Gen III Engine - Head Bolt Fitting
When replacing Gen III V8 head bolts for any reason – the following process is recommended: Blow out the head bolt
holes with compressed air to remove and dry out coolant residue/oil/etc; using a DRY tap - clean out old sealant
residue from threads; blow out the holes to remove the resultant sealant debris. Failure to carry out this process may
result in thread damage or cracking of the cylinder block.
