$9000 front diff repair
Is it very common to have a front diff go out at 42000 miles? I was told the bearing went out and threw oil out. The left front axle was replaced
This was repaired at a dealership in WA state I asked if he thought it was from wrong tire size but he had no idea |
Not common at all. What "went out"?
|
diff
I will find out more but this is a car that had 9000 dollars put into the front diff and the front left hand side axle. stay tuned

What tire sizes do you use (front/rear)?

This is a car I might buy because it is a x50 wit a tiptronic

Mine went (very small leak) in the first 5K miles. Completely replaced under warranty. Porsche did NOT want it repaired, so they replaced it with brand new.

Recently at shop near me they had a 996TT come in with cracked front diff housing. It was the back side of the housing and not a cheap repair.

Could you elaborate on the symptoms you experienced? A complete failure is petty unmistakable--sounds like someone threw a bunch of rocks in your transmission. I'm wondering what if there are any early warnings you had?
shop sounds a bit shady in not knowing what caused it and the high cost of $9k... |
I would never ever get a new one if my front diff would fail. I always would by a LSD and would convert to rwd:thumbsup:

Similar experience with the 6-speed in my 2003 Turbo. Selector shaft leak and Porsche elected to replace the transmission vs. repair. The car was under CPO warranty.
