Cheers, Justin.
Whilst having my AFT changed Olly noticed my diff seal were leaking.
I was really surprised as I had them changed only last May. My dealer had noted a leak during the MoT check. They were changed under my Service Plus contract, which expired this Feb.
I went to the dealer last week and...
About to change the diff oil in my son's 220CDi W203, 2005. The manual is silent on the spec. The US sites seem to imply Mobil 1 75w90, and the local dealer has said this too. Can't understand therefore why everyone says, and I use, 85W90 in my 244k mile W126 and W211, and the 85W90 is said to...
Just noticed a leak on the back of the diff on my 208 CLK320 it is smack in the middle at the very back, cleaned the diff off and left for a half an hour and there is a line of oil again in the same place.
Anyone know or experienced the same problem.
Well my diff isnt damp, its wet!!, with a drip on the driveway here and there. Apparently seals will need replacing, 7 hour job as this that and the other has to be dropped including my bottom jaw as ive been told its £300 to do. Is this a fair price?, had the car two weeks.....Kev.:wallbash:

Got a secong hand Diff today, its leaking a bit at the Nuts at the front that hold the triangle that hold the prop. They untied it trying to take it out. Today I took it out to see if the seal was OK, no leak there. Can I just tied it up again ( the nut) and this would stop the leak as there is...

I've got an annoying noise coming from the diff. I would describe the noise as similar to a pad rubbing on a disc. Others have described it as an airflow kind of noise and another said it sounded like a cistern filling up!!!!
All of which are fair comments as that's what it sounds like...
