Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a leaky seal on the front diff. Not sure which side until I take off the under tray. Can the seals be replaced with the shaft insitu or does it need to come out ? Anyone had this done recently, looking for an idea as to cost please.

POST 2Original post

I had a seal done on my front diff recently. Not sure which one it was as it was picked up when car was in for service. Was only a couple of hours labour. Don't think the part was expensive or was the oil to top it up.

POST 3Original post

As mentioed this is a relatively small, seals are cheap snad a few hours labout and oil... I had mine done in Feb. but only as a result of some noises coming from front diff... As I hadnt realised it was leaking, the diff had dried up, thus the reason for the noise. In all new diff and seals etc required = v expensive :sad: So replacing seals now is significantly cheaper that what it can result to... a hard lesson to learn Cheers
