Hello guys
I deside to change my rear diff. oil at 28k miles on my R32. It was very quick and easy, anyone can do it.
First thing i did was run around the block a few times to heat the rear diff up a lil cause it was cold as shit today.
Once i got back home i pull u backwards and loaded my car on ramps.
Tools u will need
1. Rear Diff Oil G-052-145-S2
2. Fluid Pump - from Autozone - I up dated the Fluid pump mod on this page a few post down
3. 1/8 Brass Filler Screw
4. 30 torx or u can use a 5mm Allen Key / Up to u
5. 2 Rear Diff Plug Screws
6. This plug is the same as the Filler on the Haldex
First take the the top filler screw out. The fluid should not come out at this point.
Now u can take out the bottom screw and let all the fluid drain out this beast.LOL
Once all the fluid is drained out and bearly dripping, now u can put the New drain plug back in. I tightened the drain plug to 10ft.lb.
Also u are going to put in the 1/8 Brass filler tool, every thing should look like this.
Once the brass fill tool is in now u can slide the Fluid Pump hose on to the Brass pipe. I used a clamp to tighten it down so no fluid comes out while i fill it. Here is a pic with the hose on and filling.
After u pump all the oil out of the diff bottle then take of the hose, then u can take out the brass nipple. U should have no fluid/oil coming out but if u do then u need to let it drain out till it starts to drip.
Now u can put in ur Top Fill Plug/screw and tighten it to 10ft.lb. and ur done!:happyanim:
Now take ur R32 off the ramps and go aound the block and on the highway and get up to at least 60-80 but very gentle and not too hard on the peddal.
It should feel very smooth and nice.:w00t:
