Mark if the tread on your front tyres is more than your rear tyres it will whine try swaping them round first

 

[MarcS3]

Really I've had it on a ramp with all 4 wheels off ground and put in 6th and let it tick over and it is winning still

If you need a new diff try looking on ebay for Audi S3's that are breaking could get one for a good price!

As said, look in the classifieds and also maybe worth posting a wanted ad too...

If anyone has a diff then please contact the OP via PM...

Got my rear diff replaced several months ago now after my old one was knackered- pretty sure it was around the £300 IIRC from a low mileage S3.

I expect you can get them cheaper, but the garage that does all my work sourced the diff and recommended it as a good one.

I managed to buy one for £100 off ebay, but it might be worth replacing the rear diff oil and see if that makes any difference.

Done oil, was a few bits of metal on the bung but not much, oil was very dirt though
