I am now in an email dispute with MTEC.
They are saying they have never seen this before and have not had reports of any other failings and they are speaking with their tech team.
They are happy to send me out new discs at no cost however feel they are pushing this back on my as a fitting...
No ABS light so hopefully all good.
All the teeth looked ok on the rings.
Nice one for sorting airbag light 👍
I was under the impression that MTEC were meant to be a decent brand. Clearly not.
The bearings, bar the seal on the drivers side were actually tight as hell and smooth. I think the...
I will have to check the sensors.
I already get the service light on due to the airbags being removed.
Will it just be the service light if the abs sensors are broken aswell? Or is there any other way to tell
Ok….
So further investigation has proven a massive failure with the bearings.
Either not sent out correctly from factory or very poor quality in manufacture.
Basically, the circlip had come out from its housing (unless it was never in there from the start) which allowed the bearings to slide...
My theory is, after many cups of tea….
The circlip hasn’t been seated properly, from MTEC factory I may add.
It didn’t make any noise to start with but when heat has got into the brakes it has allowed the bearing to slide outwards, towards the wheel.
This has then allowed the disc to sit...
Nope, not any play.
It doesn’t look like the circlip is in any type of recess?
Looking on frogjam at the OE Brembo discs, the bearing seems to sit a lot closer to the hub face than these MTEC ones.
Here are some cleaner pics.
Could it be the bearing has been pressed to far in? Or will it only go so far and it seats against something?
It didn’t make any grinding noises until around my 3rd session out on track.
