Do you have to get rear differential rebuilt after 5000 miles?

[quit]

Never heard of that

[gampla]

one of my work collegues heard itin the vine apparently if you dont it could cease up

[Jay762]

only time I could see that being needed was if you were driving in sand all the time but your bearings would need replacing before hand.

 

I would be interested to see any internet sites with that statement if your mate has them

[gampla]

I've never heard of this before

[bowthruster]

Is this a wind up?

[Nevell]

Don't worry mate we all got to start somewere ...I've heard all sorts of stories about subarus ,mostly from Honda guys, wishing for boost

[gampla]

No this isn't a wind up I'm asking to see if anyone has heard of this, I'm not a !Removed! mechanic

[Nevell]

Make sure you change the ( INERTIAL DAMPERS ) every 10ooo miles though ..........

[bowthruster]

Sorry if I offended you,didnt mean to.

[gampla]

When I do get my own I'll get her serviced cambelt done and everything checked

[BoozyDave]

gampla, an average car does 10k a year, do you think anyone would buy a subaru if you had to pay £100's every 6 months for a diff rebuild? (honest question)

 

i haven't seen oil change recommendations as low as 3,750 miles before, usually 6k miles or 6 months on the classics and 10k miles or 12 months on the new age

 

 

good idea to have a full service done (by a garage that you trust), when you have the cam belt done make sure they change the pulley's too

[Nevell]

Good,idea ,I think there is a buyers guide on here ,might be worth having a look through to help out abit mate..

[Adam]

Interesting that the service schedule for the rear diff oil only says that it should be inspected every 30,000 miles. Not changed. I can't help thinking that if you're going to go to all the trouble of inspecting it than you might as well change it.

Remember when you inspect your diff oil (or gearbox oil) you are not looking for colour change as transmission oil doesn't change colour when it goes off... You need to smell it! The stronger the smell, the older it is.
