touring 325 noisey diff
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2005 8:49 pm
My 325i touring has a noisey diff, whining over 40mph, it's not too bad at the moment, was going to check the oil level. Anyone know the allen key size I need to remove the filler plug, looks like a beast.
Secondly any preference on diff oil? and is there any extra lubricant I can add to the oil to get a bit more life out of the diff, extra lubrication?
Also, how do I know if the diff is still working, the reason I ask this is because my touring is very tail happy in the wet, much more so than the 2 325i saloons i've had, is this just a touring problem or is my diff no longer doing it's 'limited slip' bit?
Any opinions
Cheers
