DORKO Member 340 Member For: 17y 11m 21d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 30/01/08 10:10 AM Share Posted 30/01/08 10:10 AM Hi All,I had a funny noise ( echo's) but it only happens when I let go of the accelerator. Anyway got it booked in with Ford. They said its damaged and they will replace it. However the diff replacement has a 2 month back log. I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem with their diff and if they have to wait 2 months?My ute is a late 06 BF II buildCheersDorko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got 57,000klm's and I changed the diff oil at 50,000. Made no difference. Otherwise it drives fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went through about half a dozen of the bloody things with my BA, never had your problem though, was just the usual whine.The waitlist length seems about right though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quite a low sound and it drives fine otherwise. Only when I back off though, I wasnt sure if it was the Auto or the Diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I changed the oil in the diff there were no signs of metal in the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 10m 6d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 30/01/08 11:18 AM Share Posted 30/01/08 11:18 AM The first diff in my ute whined at 100km/h. Drove me crazy!My current one whines a little at 95 but I don't care as I never sit on 95.If you see small metal filing in the oil don't be alarmed, it's normal. If you see chunks of metal then you've got a problem. If I ever have another noisey diff I'm going to strip it down and check everything over. I'd be interested to see if all these problems are just caused by them not being assembled within the correct specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it drives you crazy like myself. Then get Ford to replace it under warranty. Its amazing that it happens so often. IS it just a weak diff?Dorko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
