Planet X Freehub - EC130 Aero - Broken Again

in Workshop
Hi has anyone had issues with Team Comp 35 Vision wheelset specifically the freehub. I have now had this break completely firstly after 800 miles which they repaired then after 3000 miles. I know there is wear and tear however since July 2019 I have only done 200 miles ish due to an accident leaving me less confident. I got on the bike again in the NY to find my chain jumping all over and the following diagnosis being a replacement freehub or due to wear on the rims a new wheelset. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds more like a cassette/chain issue,stiff link in chain, worn cassette seem most likely.
Wear on rims causing chain to jump? No.
However it maybe necessary to service it. It's a fine art to using grease in a freehub some do but it has to be very minimal others just use a oil or extremely light grease. I think the issue is if you use a oil you will have to service it more frequently but there is no chance of the pawls sticking but if you use grease its a fine art to make sure you do it so the pawls won't stick but you won't have to service anywhere near as often.
At the moment it sounds like it could have grease but it hasn't been done that well or because the bike hasn't been ridden its dryed out slightly and is preventing the pawls from operating correctly.
You could drop a bit of chain oil into the freehub and then spin the wheel in the stand in order to soften and disperse the grease. I would think that has a high chance of working.
Alternatively the freehub components have already been damaged by a sticking pawl and you may need to replace something like a broken pawl.
