What to do after blowning a rear differential R36.

[Waah954]

He could have easily lied said the diff just went.

Let's not act like all mechanics out there are honest.

[Umai Naa!!]

At the end of the day, he made a boo-boo, he fixed it at his own expense, and if you're still happy to go there, then everyone's a winner

The thing to take away from this, is that anyone who's veiwed the thread has probably learnt something new about their own car.

[Waah954]

True that.

I'd suggest looking on ebay at the moment as there are 3x R36's being wrecked at the moment.

i think mine may have play, i notice some noise from the rear? i dont know whether i should put additive into it or not. ringing dealer tomorrow to get checked as only had car 2 weeks and has 104k on clock.

Get the Haldex serviced, and see how it goes.

still very new to vw, im ls 1 back ground but if you dont mind me asking, what is the haldex?

[Umai Naa!!]

It's the electronically-controlled viscous coupling on the front of the rear diff. Needs to have it's oil changed every 60K on <2010 models, or every 3 years on 2010> models.

got to volkspower today and there is no drive to the rear end, so i have booked into vw to have properly checked (under warranty) not really happy about this

might be just a fuse.

Where would I find it, if you know

Fuse box under the panel at the side of the dash in the cabin? There should be a diagram in the owners manual with all the fuse placements.

Cheers I will have a look. They said there was a little drive and a little noise. But when the rear should kick in there was the diff noise. I will still check fuse tho

Could also be the pump mate. There is a couple on here that have had pump issues just recently. Make sure you ask them to check that out too because the have the pump serviced is not a massive cost.
