I took my car to the TDI dyno a couple of weeks ago

where we discovered the diff was leaking oil.

I need to get this re-sealed does anyone know what parts are required gaskets etc. or can you just use gasket seal?

is it a big or small job ?

 

There is no gasket.

Use a high temperature silicon liquid gasket such as Hondabond (part no. 08718-0001)

is that the same for the half shafts and the shaft that connects to the prop?

 

No, they use oil seals.

Part numbers:

91201-PCZ-003

91202-PCZ-003 x2

Brian, where is it leaking from?

I had the local Hond garage replace a seal on my diff a few years back at a cost of around around £200. It took them 3 goes, over 3 months, to get it right. They kept splitting the seal when replacing the diff.

 

hi steve thanks for that

it seems to be leaking from the rear where the studs go.
and near the front

 

Is there a DIY for this? Any special tools required? I've replaced diffs and axles before, but never done anything like this. Thanks.
