Re: Diff has blown again

A new diff was fitted by Exeter Gearbox Centre 2 weeks ago. The diff was suplpied by Swindon Subaru part no: 27011AA173.

I was driving down the A303 on Monday and after only having the car back for 120 miles the diff blew and the car came to a halt.

Subaru are blaming EGC for no oil and EGC are blaming Subaru for a faulty diff.

The diff is being sent to subaru next week to be looked at.

Either way my car is off the road and i can see a court case here. EGC say the diff was filled with oil.

£2500 down the drain.

Regards

Ian
I recently bought a car that blew the diff, 20,000 miles after replacement. I am wondering, because I have never seen a Sub trans apart, when the diff with ring gear is replaced, do the shops take the trans apart and replace the shaft that has the pinion gear. Is it possible that the cars are repaired without a 'matching' gear set?
