Jinxy, probably should add 'of the car' to that :lmfao: Welcome shorty btw, great choice in the A3

Hey, that was a useful couple of links above, interesting that it says the 5 speed 01A centre diff has a high failure rate (The one I have) but also good to see someone has the same problem too ( Described to a T by the audiforums thread) and it was solved by replacement

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the mounts have been thoroughly checked, even the rear diff has been stripped and checked. The Torsen diff that I need is at the other end of the propshaft (Between prop and gearbox), its only a small thing, but having seen images of it, they are quite a...
