fingermouse Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 ok so last night I put my car away and found a patch of oil on the drive from the rear of the car. So this morning I set about looking at the rear diff to find all of it is dry appart from a metal plate connected to the diff with 2 small bolts (8mm head) This plate is drenched in oil but I cant see where its come from, no runs down the diff or anything. There is a electrical connector attached to this plate. Im off rto take some pics now and have another look now the beer goggles have worn off. any help ??? any ideas ??? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitas3 Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 this could be the oil from the Haldex system - maybe the gasket is goofed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32Ash Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 [ QUOTE ] oil carton in the boot leaked [/ QUOTE ] Got it in one! At least I only had a quick look underneath before we set off to JBS, unlike Fingermouse who'd been under there for hours before pronouncing it to be a terminal Haldex failure.

Paul Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 [ QUOTE ] oil carton in the boot leaked [/ QUOTE ] been there done that before there is a wire/grommet in the wheel well to the haldex, and its a perfect tube to channel any lost oil all over the haldex. looks very convincing.
