When I rebuilt a second-hand diff that I bought last year, I noticed that the depth of the pinion seal was exactly the same as the socket I purchased to do my rear wheel bearings. i.e. 90 mm as shown:

I notice the repair is to your 2014 FL2 ? I was of the understanding that Land Rover addressed the diff fault on 2012 & later cars ? Unless I have been misinformed. |

Sad to say, but later diffs seems also to suffer. I have opened a 2013 diff with approx 70k miles where the pinion bearing was knackered. |

In my apprenticeship days when axles were always rebuilt, we used to use something called 'engineers blue'. Still available, Google it. Using this, from memory, we would set the preload on the crown wheel and pinion bearings, set the backlash and then check check the meshing of the gears. Depending on the pattern of meshing we would then correct it by moving the pinion in or out or the crown wheel carrier in or out. Can’t remember much as it was 40 odd years ago but it was interesting to do and satisfying when you got it all right. You were looking for meshing like this: Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto Present: Audi A3 S Line. |

Given that very late FL2s (14 onwards ?) shared a lot of parts with the Evoque does anyone know if the Evoque has the same rear diff problem? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Doesn’t seem to be. It could be because most, if not all, Evoques have the modified pinion bearings or just simply that they haven’t been around as long or there aren’t as many on the road compared to FL2’s. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

This is a great thread! Wish I had seen it a few days ago before my mechanic replaced the bearings on my rear diff.

Yes if you speak to Austin @ Bell engineering he will confirm that the evoque does suffer from the same diff problem as the Freelander. |
