Thread: Whine from the rear!!

Hi All,

Still loving the D3 V8...... but! I am hearing a very short momentary (approx 1 second) whine from the rear diff?? during acceleration from standstill very close to the 2nd to 3rd gear change particularly when on a slight incline???? Has anyone else heard this before. Its very faint at this time and under the statutory warranty from the dealership as under 5K/3 months from purchase. She's done 112K only and is a 2005 build. Its definitely coming from the rear of the car and can only think its the rear diff??

Was a pretty simple fix, didn't bring the misses on the next trip.

LOL definitely more than a second!!
