Could you please assist us with information
I am the owner of Magaliesburg Auto a registered and equipped workshop
One of my longstanding Clients has bought a Tatta 3434 Tipper 2007 model Vin No VKL35 DEF 16 K 000844
When it was brought to me the first time to service I found this vehicle to be in remarkable good condition low mileage fair wear and tear on the body and bin but nothing indicating that this vehicle was misused the engine and gearbox sounded good .
I found the bell housing to be cracked we then proceeded to change the bell-housing the vehicle was tested and it seemed ok.
3 weeks later it was reported that the starter gave problems we went out to site and found the starter broke away from the bell housing we replaced the starter with a new one supplied by Tata Ma Spares in roodepoort ( Genuine Tata Spares)
3 weeks later the Driver phoned me and reported that the bell housing seemed to be cracked again upon inspection we found it to be cracked again and that the starter is broken away again.
I then started investigating by phone and on the internet and found numerous vehicles with the same problem and found many remedies tried but it all seemed failed
After speaking with many technicians who encountered the same problems it was suggested by a Tata Factory technician with who I spoke to , to manufacture a gearbox mounting I asked for plans or pictures of what it should look like but they could not supply me with any as they have only heard that this works.
I then bought a new bell housing new starter new eng mountings and had the prop shaft balanced all by Tata Ma Spares in roodepoort (genuine Tata Spares) Manufactured a mounting at the rear of the gearbox ( a leave spring helping to take the weight of the gearbox) when all this was done and fitted the truck ran like a passenger car no vibrations no problems .
The truck went back to site to work it is now 45 days later and we are back to square one bell housing broken in 2, starter torn away from bell housing R[protected] later Please could you help us locate someone with some answers
Hope you could help and would come back to me
Thanks (Ollie) J.P. Olivier
