| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Car: 2004 volkswagen golf r32 whinning noise coming from the rear differential. alot of volkswagen r32 owners are starting to hear a whine from the rear differential, usually on deceleration or lifting off of the gas pedal. we communicate with each other through a vw enthusiast forum. the majority of us who encounter this noise have checked and changed our rear differential fluids and have found that our fluid is low from the factory!! the capacity of our rear differentials is 1 liter, per specifications. most of us have found when draining the differential, that only 1 cup drains out, some even have found that the differential is not filled at all!! after filling with new and proper fluid the whine still is heard. please send something out! i would hate to see some one get injured due to a failed rear differential on the vehicle. possible lock up due to heating and welding of the gears can happen due to lack of fluid! *tr |
