B7 Rear Differential

[Dalmation11]

My rear differential on my 2007 1.8t Avant Quattro 6 speed manual has decided to break so I'm after a used replacement as a new one is £3700 fitted !
There seem to be lots of variations, how do I find the part number of the one fitted to mine ?

Thanks,

Nick

Have you tried searching for one with the PRcode for your Diff.? It may be easier?

[Dalmation11]

What is the PR code ?

I have had two of these within the last two weeks, we got a used one for the first but this started to go again within days, the other we only diagnosed yesterday. You need to know the code of the one you have and then find someone who will tell you if any others are compatible.

Give Bristol transmissions a ring. A rebuild may be your best bet.

My chap can't get the parts for these units, he won't touch them.

I have called them, they want nearly £2000 to sort it. Is this a common failure on the A4 then, my indie garage said they never see one go ?

I have seen two in as many weeks.....

Who would know what ones would fit my car, I've tried Googleing it but I'm getting nowhere ?
