Great video. Had a few cars with ZF clutch lsd in the rear diff, but never tried Quaife rear, only on front diff. Are the original diffs "Mercedes" differentials or ZF produced? I see more and more diffs with welded ring gear on newer cars, both BMW and Alfa does this. Newer Alfa diffs are ZF produced, I see Mercedes ML and alot of VAG products also use ZF diffs. Makes fitting a different diff even more complicated with welded crownwheel.
Hi! Thank you very much. Glad you liked it😊 The Mercedes differentia and transmission (at least the automatic ones) are made by Mercedes. Yes a welded ring gear would be nearly impossible to change🫣
hi,just watched both of your videos very informative as there is not much info on what i need i have a w221 s63 2009 i have a noisy diff trying to source ring and pinion gear plus bearings seems to be very difficult to buy mercedes will only do a change over at stupid money i am in australia so any help would be great.
Hi, So glad to hear you found the videos informative 😊 Do you have a part number for your ring and pinion? You can send me an email if you want, and I’ll check what I can do for you. Tekniske@flenstad.com
I have a 2004 and my differential is severely whining. I bought a used one off eBay, are there things I should freshen up before giving it to my mechanic to install?
Do you know if the LSD functionality of the LX SRT8 differential can be transferred to late model e55s? Ik the ring and pinion for the 3.06 can be used but I’m not knowledgeable enough to know if the locking mechanism is compatible
Hi, in a torsen diff there is no locking. It a pure mechanical brakeing function to keep both axles at the same speed, how do this more/stronger as the torque you put on the diff input shaft increases.

Hi, thanks for the very helpful video, I have a A2303510105 Differential how do you get the two Diff seals out of the diff housing?
Hi, if you look into the video (part 2) it’s show how these are fitted. Removal is in reversed order
Ok I'll try heating then hitting with rubber hammer@@Flenstadtekniske
@@solarpanel9310 yes, but be carefull with the heat, they have some rubber on them. Good luck😊👍🏻
@solarpanel9310 That number doesn’t tell anything about the diff. It’s the part number of the housing.
@@Bastard_Operator_From_Hell So your saying you've never seen that type of number before? the type of number starting with A?

Hi,
Yes absolutely.
What type of differential do you have? The one with screwed half shafts ?
@@Flenstadtekniske it's from a 2004, I believe it has slip in axles. Could I email you photos ?
@@tooththrhr yes You can, tekniske@flenstad.com
@@Flenstadtekniske ok I'll email you tomorrow or Saturday. Thnx
