Hi there,
A friend of mine has a e92 320d. Its a high miler he has owned from new 160,000km on it. Serviced well.
There is a noise from the diff, Frank Keane Blackrock say the diff is knackered and need replacement (part fitters that all they are). Wondering if a diff can be repaired or a replacement sourced that not going to cost the earth. Cars only worth about 10k so spending a fortune on a new diff is not really on.
cheers for the help.
We've looked into them getting repaired and most of our diff repair guys say they can't source the parts. Maybe Valdelis might know of a fix but I've only ever fitted complete units.
Only 10k?? [emoji33]

Well maybe 13, can diff oil replacement help? Can a refurbished or scrapped diff be sourced. Huge cost of a new diff and huge labour costs.Quote:

Diffs on ebay for under 300?
My point was 10k is still a lot of moneyQuote:

I think my point which I poorly made was that the repair would make up such a large percentage of the value of the car that it was uneconomical.Quote:

I understand the car is booked in, thanks a million for sorting him out. Was in a BMW dealer and the cost for a replacement diff (the part alone) was 2900 euro :surprised:Quote:
