$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

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...

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.
