Hi All,
Had a nightmare with my fr tdi recently. long story short, the gear box had been making a grinding whirring noise for quite some time (like a wheel bearing noise) and failed snapping one of the drive shafts.
I got hold of a second hand gearbox with apparently only 70,000 miles on it. My mate fitted it and I've got the exact same noise again. To say I'm gutted is an understatement.
Do any of you have any experience of fixing diff bearings (if indeed that's what it is) as I now have a gear box sat around that I'm considering repairing if it's economic to do it.
Could it be anything else causing this as to have another gearbox with the exact same noise is very unlucky. My mate changed the driver side wheel bearing just to eliminate that. It's had two new drive shafts as well.
Any one got any experience of anything similar?
thanks
