The nulon also has the friction modifier already added so no probs there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you certain the noise was not there ?(I say this without trying to offend at all) I put nulon in mine and instantly it went quiet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just asking as lifting the car sometimes brings in other weird noises like power steering shudder etc...Drive it for a few thousand and if it's still there then start investigating more. The diff whine isn't hazardous just annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ullysses New Member 23 Member For: 13y 2m Posted 21/11/14 03:51 AM Author Share Posted 21/11/14 03:51 AM I'm starting to think I could be listening for it like you said wilko.I'll just have to keep an ear on it and see if it gets worse. As long as there isn't something badly wrong.It 80w 140 ideal for the diff or should a light oil be replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
