I assume that was the point when the case cracked from the gears locked up and the vehicle’s momentum made it get to that point. \u00a0This vehicle destroyed it’s own differential because of a minor axle seal leak,\u00a0 which if caught in time could be resolved with some effort.<\/p>\n Please keep one thing in mind: The front differential is a sealed unit with a lifetime fill supposedly. \u00a0This would be just fine until all the gear oil leaked out and the gears ate themselves. Unfortunately this differential is so tucked away, the manufacturer deleted the fill and drain plug entirely. This could be still overcome by removing one axle shaft and sucking the oil out and refilling it from the same way, just saying. \u00a0We find a lot of similar issues with transfer cases as well.<\/p>\n For instance, late model BMW has no drain hole for the transfer case assembly nor the differentials. Therefore it takes some extra effort to suck the old tired fluid out and refill them the same way, but there is a will there’s a way.<\/p>\n Let’s face it, there is no fluid and no lubricant meant to last forever. Do yourself a favor and get your vehicle serviced every one hundred thousand \u00a0kilometers at least, so it can last for decades without developing a lack of lubrication related problems.<\/p>\n Remember, we are European Import Car Specialist<\/a> at Techmax Auto Inc<\/a>.
