Which GSF Front Accumulator Sphere Xantia 1.9TD

Unread post by Rhothgar »

Just nipping down to GSF to get this job out of the way.

Gave them my reg and he gave me part number 453PC001 but I cannot find it on their website.

With my reg, it brings up 453CP0011 but states Activa? which it certainly isn't.

Anyone on the forum know which one I should be having or the pressure and volume please?

Perfect timing that. Just down here.

Date stamp is 29-08-2012. It doesn't matter apparently providing they've not been in a car previously.

What does matter, is that they measure 62 Bar or more.

TWO YEARS OLD!

Hmmm, you were lucky with your tick rate then. I find this a lot with GSF, spheres around 2 years old. Had many flat from this age from GSF.

Id be very interested how long the sphere lasts or how quickly your tick rate increases again.

Well done though, glad your heart rate has improoved.. :-D :-D

I thought the tick rate should be around TWO minutes.

At the moment I am happy. Maybe you'll find it in your heart to give me a hand getting it off at the X Rally and I hope Jim will be along with his tester.

Jim I believe in fact said that if they are not on the car then there can be no loss of pressure somthing called Graham's Law if I remember correctly. Because the gas isn't under any external load then there can be no depletion in the pressure but I guess it is under 62 bars of pressure?
