Dutchman Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Did a full service on my TT6 over the weekend and when I've changed the diff oil there was a few pieces on the magnet, don't know if it's time to cry my self to sleep or are pieces like this nothing to worry about? http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o748/avansteijn61/Mobile%20Uploads/20150731_180440_zpsqf0k2zur.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If it's not whining there's life in it yet, but the writing is on the wall. You have time enough to find another before D day. When/if you swap it out, keep the prop flange, there's always someone after one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 No its not making any noise, that's all that was on the magnet though the oil was reasonably clean, how difficult is it to get hold of another torsen diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 What diff does it have? the VIN plate will tell you the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'm not sure I'll have a look and post it on here when I get home, a lad that has looked at the car says it's the big torsen diff if that means anything? Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 What that means is not easy to find and will cost twice as much as small case version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 The number is V160 A03B, forgive my ignorance but what's the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 A03B is a small case Torsen 3.267:1. http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/specs.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless there are bigger bits left inside, too big to drop through the drain hole Seen FAR worse on diffs that have gone on for thousands of more miles, but that's not to say *YOURS* will.

Dutchman Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 No that was it, put my extendable flexi magnet in and nothing else came out, what's the difference between the big and small one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
