paulj1 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Any know how much roughly a new A03B Diff is and if they still make them or a company that does as quaffe say they need an order of ten to make one as mine is making a clicking noise when I set off changed the diff oil and couple of very bits of metal where stuck to the magnetic plug maybe the size of the nib of a pencil. So I am presuming that it is on its way out. Cheers Paul Edited April 20, 2013 by paulj1 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'd check your drive joints first, uj's and outputs, then drop the diff out and remove the rear plate so you can check the state of things before you commit to having to replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulj1 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Cheers pulley is there a certain way to check these things I do have access to a ramp to make it easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Taking the diff out is easy if you've got a gearbox jack, on a ramp (diff is fairly heavy) Then just unbolt the Ali back plate and inspect the crown gear, internal LSD casing, and use a torch to peek at the pinion Or remove the diff so you can see the pinion clearly I may have a spare casing and crown/pinion for that ratio here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulley Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 A small amount of backlash is ok, just worth checking the universal joints on your gearbox-diff shaft are ok before you go to all the trouble of dropping the diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
