Hey all,
I need to do a replacement of a shot front differential. New is pretty steep price . Anyone have a lead for used / reconditioned ? or just recommendation to put in new?
Thank you!

you guys are all trying to nuke the AWD and then folks want the AWD - we need to setup a swap-a-thon!
I like having the AWD, but I drive my car in the rain, and with 400HP being applied, I really appreciate all four wheels helping out!
Cheers,
Mike

Hey all,
well i was driving about 80MPH on the highway and starting getting this fast (somewhere between a bang and a pop?) ha ha .. sound from the front.. pull over .. dont visually see any issues.. get going again .. sound is there increasing witht he speed of the car - so i know its diff or something on the wheel. i could tell it was front not rear. anyway limped a mile to a town and got a flat bed tow to a porsche indy shop in omaha NE - CARS . he says essentially - when we drained it there were metal chunks .. so thats not good.
i have a lead on a used part from LA Porsche auto dismantlers - any good / ugly stories on them ? price $2000 after core trade.
new was in the 5k range ? ouch.

David,
Rick here in Omaha. Sorry to hear about the front diff.
As others stated do check the turbo area as I've seen front diffs there from part outs and the occasional garage cleaning.
Let me know if I can help with anything.
