woke up a bit early from my night shift so nipped to tps to pick up my bits. not alot of bits for £113
rear prop seal, 6 prop bolts, 1 centre bolt, track rod end bolt, centre diff fluid, cv boot kit.
turns out the engine sump doesnt have a gasket, just some super expensive sealent. £20 for this little tube
started with the prop seal, time to clean all the mess
new seal in
centre hub back on
prop back on with new bolts
then time to fill the transfer box, another impossible filler on the side. ****** gravity!
got it in with a long pipe. 0.8litres
and got at the heat shields back on
not decided on what to do with the gearbox yet. ive read some posts and **** my self about it to be honest. ZF state its a sealed box for life, audi have varying facts about service intervals, and some people have found if you change the fluid in a healthy box a few thousand miles later the box craps itself due to the new consistency of the fluid where it had worn in nicely with the old fluid.
the fluid, filter and gasket comes to about £150, i phoned up my local audi and they only want £169 do do a gearbox fluid and filter change.
so not sure what to do at the moment....
