Aussie sun mate. I can clearly make out the air bag on the passenger side dash of my 08 model. What were the symptoms of the rear diff trouble? I have given mine a hiding and it still seems ok except the electric seats don't work anymore.

First had the diff, then the Haldex and fianlly another new diff. In the states none were available from Nov 09 to Jan of 10. Had many weeks with a loaner. I was told if the diff goes out there is a very high probrability that a Haldex will also be needed. |

They now have a fixing kit to replace the differiential, so they must realise that there is a problem with this, I had to pay £500 for this as it was out of warrenty. My argument is if they know it's a problem why aren't they recalling them? Steve Partridge |

There isn't a real mechanical problem. Because of the Haldex system's software, the diff's input bearing is unnecessary overloaded statically. If the software is updated in time, the bearing isn't overloaded anymore and lives a normal life. The idea is to update the Haldex's firmware in time. This is automatically done through the Q106 service action on diesel automatic cars. Otherwise through the "SSM46477 - Rear Differential Noise - SW Update" |

Is there nothing you dont know?? When in your opinion would you say is in time Alex?? mine had done 50k miles before Q106 and I come out of warranty on Monday should i be worried??? Are there any particular circumstances that are more likely to overload the bearing, e.g. GGS or Sand TR Modes? stop start motoring etc?

I believe that the bearing, with the old firmware, is working near its loading's limits.

I'll go along with that, in fact we should organise an event and go on a pilgrimage to Romania, just to touch him. |
