Your video was a lifesaver! Did this job today, took me 6 1/2 hours on my own. But I saved so much money, I sourced a used diff for 180€, and paid another 120€ for the workshop-rent and a few parts. A professional workshop quoted 1850€ for the removal/rebuild! Thanks so much for the video!
Hallo Florian, Hab auch einen touareg, ich habe ein Geräusch beim Fahren das klingt wie ein radlager.. aber sobald ich rechts kurven fahre ist das Geräusch ziemlich weg.. war es bei dir ähnlich ? Oder woher wusstest du das dein diff defekt ist ? Würde mich um Antwort freuen danke
@@maxdeubl9641 hi Max, bei mir hatten Kurvenfahrten überhaupt keinen Einfluss auf das Geräusch - es war immer da, und wurde nur leicht besser unter Last. Ich hab gedacht, ich tausche halt einfach das Diff, vielleicht hilft es ja. Hast du Schicksal probiert, den Wagen auf die Bühne zu bocken und das vermutete Rad von Hand etwas zu drehen? Defekte Radlager hört man da normalerweise schon recht gut. Bei dem Fehlerbild von dir tippe ich auf jeden Fall auf eins der Lager links. Beste Grüße!
My 06 Cayenne had differential problems. I want to comment that he is very knowledgeable on these differentials. I spoke to many axle shops, but felt most comfortable with Terry. He had the best understanding of these differentials. He will answer your questions and his work is impeccable. He is meticulous and thorough. I ended up purchasing a rebuilt unit from him on eBay (described in the video). When I received the unit, it was carefully packaged - again attention to detail. This may seem minor point, but when you have the car disassembled it was reassuring to see this and know that the work on the rebuilt unit is as meticulous. No problems to date and runs perfect! I used his video plus the Porsche service manual to do the removal and install. Highly recommend Terry!
Thank you for sharing this, I knew it will help one day, im in the process of swapping my front diff with the one with E-locker in it so your video was very helpful 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 saved me going through the manual
I’m wondering if the cradle bold intro he frame can be a problem to remove like on older vw where the bolt would be stuck into the bushing and break? Also I would like to attempt a rebuild myself and want to know where to get I for about bearing preload
Great video, but do you have a tool to align the subframe when you install everything? Or is there a trick to do it without a special tool? Need to rebuild the diff on my Cayenne soon
First time i removed it those subframe bushings had left pretty clear marks on it and i just aligned it with those. I'll be taking it apart again pretty soon to rebuild the actual diff and plan on doing it like that again.
Hi guys vw touareg 2004 I have a cracked "wave" exhaust on the right side would you advise how to proceed with the replacement (short video) Thanks a lot Robert Brno Czech Republic
Just repaired my 2006 Automatic gearbox Touareg's transfer case but I can hear a knocking noise from under the cabin. Noise comes out only uphill as I drive out of my parking area and take my foot off the gas when ground becomes flat again. Any idea what to look out for? Thanks
In another video they also remove the upper ball joint nut. Do you need to remove either the upper or lower? If so, do you recommend one vs the other? (Air suspension). Thanks.
I need some feedback...I just did this diff replacement job on my ‘05 Touareg V6. This video is a life saver. Sadly, the salvage yard axle I received had a figment issue that I did not notice until getting it almost completely installed. The CV axle flanges on the replacement diff are slightly larger in diameter and the bolt holes are for bigger bolts. This sucked! I contacted VW and they said that in ‘05 the CV axles for V8 or V6 are the same. The seller of the diff sent me the VIN of the donor and it too is an ‘05 V6. I think the seller’s shippers may have sent the wrong part. Everything else fit perfectly. What could this diff possibly be out of?
SuperJon thatis a Porsche Cheyenne front differential. There are three different gear radio’s for the Cheyanne and the end shafts are smaller. You can pull the shafts out and put your originals in. You will need the vin number to determine gear ratio
Terry Hightower Guy Volkswagen - Would you want the old Diff I removed? I’m scrapping it otherwise. Feel free to email me at uberjon78@yahoo.com if you want it.
Thanks for the reply. Thats a bummer. I may just need to take a chance on a used diff. I have heard that a Q7 4.2 diff (07-10) is compatible with my 2004 Treg 4.2 as well as some Cayenne units. Do you know if that is true? I have a 0AA 409 507D GMN. Likewise, anyone else you might recommend for rebuilds. Best regards.

Great info. Straight forward. Thorough enough, and to the point. Thank you! Preparing to R&R ‘06 Cayenne Turbo S.

Great video man
I use a transmission jack to hold the subframe when I do this job. Makes it a little easier and a lot safer
I’m wondering if the cradle bold intro he frame can be a problem to remove like on older vw where the bolt would be stuck into the bushing and break? Also I would like to attempt a rebuild myself and want to know where to get I for about bearing preload
Hi. Great video! Would this be the same process you'd do to replace the three differential bushings on the differential if they were worn out ...?
nestacorp yes

Any videos or tips on removing the REAR differential? Can't seem to find any information.
I have a 2012 porsche Cayenne v6 base model, and I need the front differential. What would be the model or part number to order from a vw
how many nm should the nut on the pigeon be tightened?
how can I cancel the rear differential of a 2005 Touareg Volkswagen

Hi I have a porsche cayenne 2009 . Rh drive .left front drive shaft I can pull it out with out un bolting the 6 bolts is this right
You mentioned getting rebuilt diff from yourself. Are you still rebuilding them. Have a couple of them in need.
my 2006 VW 4.2. Its noisy just like he described. been driving it for a while now, as he said. 3-4000 miles. 158k now.
Just repaired my 2006 Automatic gearbox Touareg's transfer case but I can hear a knocking noise from under the cabin.
Noise comes out only uphill as I drive out of my parking area and take my foot off the gas when ground becomes flat again. Any idea what to look out for? Thanks

770Amphicar no you do not need to remove the upper ball joint
👍👍👍
Do you still have the rebuilds for sale.

Terry Hightower Guy Volkswagen - That worked! You saved me a tone of extra work! Thanks so much! Now, I need to get an alignment to complete the job.

Did you have to pry the input shaft out after removing the 6 spline bolts ?
yes, some require prying and others just pull out.
How do i contact you about a rebuilt front differential? 04 vr6
Have 2013 cayenne with knocking sound come from differential I was wondering can I use vw part. if so what year would be good?
how many hours to remove and fit?
Carel van der Walt 6 hours
are you still doing the rebuilds?
I'm curious as well. I can't find anyone who can rebuild a 2014 Cayenne rear diff PTV+ or the rebuild parts, including bearings. Any ideas?
Are you still offering rebuild services on these? Is so, how do I contact you?
770Amphicar The business it up for sale and currently closed unfortunately
