Morning guys,
Very long time since I was around these forums!
So I’m a motor trader and I’ve recently picked up a 2008 Audi S3 108k.
Drove it properly over the weekend, have to say the chassis is a huge improvement on the 8L!
Anyway I’ve noticed a whine coming from the rear diff at around 80 mph. Now this concerns me as I had a diff go on my 8L (although it was way worse than this). However there is no paper work for the haldex ever being serviced.
I’m wary as to whether it’s actually more likely to be a knackered diff than just needing a service what are peoples opinions?
The whine is only noticeable at high speed, worse with throttle input.
I can get the haldex serviced and see if it goes but the issue is the car already has a long list of work needing doing and a replacement diff is really going to put me in the red so I’m wondering if it’s even worth it and cutting my loses now while they’re minor and moving it on in trade.
Any help is much appreciated thanks!
