differential

Reading the posts all over internet I may have bad differential at my car. I know that 2006 models been mostly affected but what about 2008 @ 63kMiles? Pre face lift model W164 (Feb 2008) Hope it's just bad bearings thanks

In need of a differential for my e200. Not sure about ratios but I'm assuming there all the same for e200. Please let me know asap

What would be the symptoms of a bad rear diff subframe mount besides sag?

Gents (and the rare lady that hides here), I need some information regarding diff locks. A car I'm looking at has two options, central diff or rear diff (or both). What does each do, which do I want, what are the pros/cons -etc? Basically, I'm looking for a diff-101... My...

Guidance from you technical minded members please:thumb: I have seen on a usa forum that a CL65 (215) has got a Quaife limited slip differential fitted. Is there any real benefit to be gained from adding one of these in my CL65 given their cost? - they seem to be around £1100 to get this...

hey guys, the other day while leaving a neighborhood i hit a bump and my diff broke. i opened it up and both of the small gears broke off the shaft and damaged the other gears. my question is, what can i do? i think getting it rebuilt will cost to much. i found one on ebay from a 96 c36(mine's...

My entry into mercedes ownership has been a little rough so far as on picking up my car I had a gearbox failure, I've had a replacement box fitted and I've noticed a noise from the back of the car which sounds like it may be the differential. The noise seems to be at low speeds and goes away...

The differential is shot in my 1996 C36 so aside from buying a brand new part I'm wondering do I have any other options ? I've looked in the usual places and I cant find a second hand part with the correct ratio. Its a 5 Spd Auto and the Diff ratio is 3.07 , now I know there are a couple...

Hi friends, i have got a C200 2007 w204 MB. its just 44000M driven and now there is a strange sound coming from the rear of car. when i got it inspected the technician told me that its rear differential sound and u have to change it. Now my question is....what can be the possible reason of...

As the title really. My thoughts brought about by a BMW dealer about 20 miles from us who so fat have come within £15 of an Indie (one for a service, one for a thermostat), including a courtesy car. Each time the difference is so small it seem's daft to lose the full main dealer history...

Hi Folks, whilst I have been a member for some time now, this is my first post. I drive a 75,000 mile 2006 ML320D. On changing the front and rear diff oils in response to an increasingly present rumble particularly on over-run, I found a high presence of metal particles in the oil from the...

Hi, Hopefully this should be a simple one to answer. On a 1996 (W202) C230K C-Class, is the rear ABS Sensor (located on the differential) also the Speedometer Sensor, if yes then that may solve a problem I'm having, if no, where is the location of the Speedometer sensor? Cheers in...

I need to replace the differential oil in my SL320 (1997 model) does anyone know which oil i should use and the grade.

I have just been given the bad news that the front differential needs to be replaced after 51000 miles to resolve a grinding noise from the front of the vehicle. It seems that this is a frequent problem in the USA with 2006 models but I don't seem to find many UK postings. Have others had a...

Now six months into AMG ownership, the honeymoon is over. Time to start maintaining the beast and would like some input from fellow enthusiasts. Passed the MOT last month with an advisory of 'Leaking o/s differential seal'. My local indie near Canterbury put it up on the ramps, and revealed a...

Hello all, just signed up to the forum. :) I bought myself a barn-find 1995 W202 C280 Sport Auto earlier this year for peanuts and am in the process of getting it all sorted. I've replaced the headlights for continental versions (the car is RHD but I'm living in France). It's also had brand...

Drove past a garage today and diesel was 11p dearer per litre than petrol. Is this likely to be a continuing trend? Does make one wonder about diesel benefits now.

Hi, Noticed the rear differential of my 1997 clk 320 sport leaking.. its leaking at end cover.. seems to be fresh oil coming down from upper half middle area of end cover. Been looking at epc and was wondering.. 1. where do you fill it up with oil ? 2. How do you check oil level in diff ...

Is it possible to retrofit a c63 amg limited slip differential to a w204 non-AMG? (c350, c300, c280 c250, c230 c200, c180 etc). Any ideas? I am asking because I was offered one very cheaply.

I know the LSD is working because up a driveway I've tried a few times the rise is incredibly steep and to the left - the left wheel gets unloaded because of the 'twist' in the road and spins, then I can hear it clunking for a second or two. Kind of like a locked diff in a drift car as it...
