  1. I think it was lack of spare parts that was the reason for not being able to repair it. Finding the correct differential is a nightmare, no one seems to know what they are talking about when I go to buy a used one, they quote the serial number as the 0ar******** number which is on the differential but this is only the differential case code, the important bit is HNQ (this is also stamped on the differential along with the date code) which gives you the internal gear ratio which is 4.1 in my case. No one seems to understand this even though I clearly state it when sourcing a used part. I had a differential sent from Germany, they confirmed everything was correct including the code but when it arrived it had HNR stamped on it which was incorrect so I had to send it back (the drive shaft flanges were 75mm dial instead of 70.7mm). Finding one for my configuration of car, 6 speed manual, Quattro, 1.8t seems to be a rare combination. I will try the links above as cars come in to breakers all of the time but as I said they don’t understand what is required. Thanks for all of your suggestions and feedback. Nick
  2. I have taken it to Bristol Transmissions and they agreed it was the differential but said they couldn’t repair it, this is why I’m trying to find a used replacement. Nick
  3. No vibrations, it’s fine when the car is cold but when it gets warm or there are more people in the car there’s a thump/clunk when pulling away, this lasts a bit into second gear as well and then perfectly fine after that. Nick
  4. I’ve had it checked by my local independent, a local garage and a Mercedes specialist that I know, they all say it’s the differential. I know it’s rare, it only clunks when the car is warm and in 1st and 2nd gear but is getting worse, a new differential is £4300 from Audi. Nick
  5. Hi I’m after a rear differential to fit my Audi A4 B7 it’s a 6 speed manual Quattro1.8t, I’ve had a clunking for a couple of years and it’s getting worse so I need to find a replacement? Where do you recommend I look, I’ve tried eBay etc but there don’t seem to be any suitable ones around, is anyone breaking a similar car? Thanks, Nick
