MP10 Wet side Going Bad?

jtgrimes · 03/08/2016, 09:15 AM

Hi All. I tried reaching out in the ecotech forum on here, but no answer/luck, so trying here.

I have had my mp10 little over a year now and recently upgraded the driver to the qd.

Last night I started hearing a awful grind/whine coming from it. Tried to see if it wasn't aligned right, but no matter what I did, same constant loud noise. My mp10 hasn't ever been quiet, but never this loud.

The dry side is a almost silent hum, which i think is working properly. Is it time to replace my wetside? First time with a vortech and having to replace something, is why I'm asking advice.

Did you take the wetside apart and clean it well? Also when putting the wetside back on they recommend starting out low on the constant speed and slowly ramping up over a week I think it is

I have kept it clean, never been a problem. When putting it back on I have followed their direction of adjusting at full speed, then once vibration is gone, setting my my mode and speed.

I would call Ecotech and someone there will be able to advise you better. They can take days or longer sometimes to answer questions under the sponsor forum
