Mate was looking at an old shape S6 today, 95M with almost 140K on the clock. It's a "weekend" car, won't do a lot of miles, but he wants something a bit special.
Anyway, drove it, but there's a heavy whine/grate/noise noticable in first gear, especially under load? In 2nd and above it's hardly there at all, just first. Engine itself sounds great. What does that leave? Torsen diff? Gearbox? Something else?
Any ideas? He's might get an AA inspection done, but I wondered if anyone had any experience of such a thing before spending the dosh on that.
