Brandon Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 The V's are notorious for cracking the case, and clunking, due to poor pinion support and a horribly engineered bushing set up. But the car is on its feet again good as new (Never seen a diff break quite that bad either...) Good work Andrew! -Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 That sucks big time! Hopefully it won't happen to my V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 That sucks big time! Hopefully it won't happen to my V. If your car an 06? And AJ knows exactly what caused that, atleast I think he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 gosh...between the snow incident and this it's been a rough couple of months with your new ride. Hopefully it's better than new and ready for some enjoyment now that the weather is nice. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I saw a v diff explode at pacemakers once, it wasn't pretty. Whats with the diffs in these cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Man what did it sound like? I'm sure it scared the shit out of you.. Surprisingly, just one good bang and then the motor was on the rev limiter. The force of the parts coming apart but the pinion far enough away that it cleared the ring rear, so I could coast into a parking lot. That sucks big time! Hopefully it won't happen to my V. Get some support around it with the quickness. Wheel hop is the death of the rear end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
