11 days after a Main Dealer annual service including a Haldex coupling oil change (40,000 miles) the rear differential of my VW Golf R32 collapsed.
It was the first time I had driven the car after a 10 day holiday (apart from driving it home after the service) and it was about 50 miles into a journey on the M6. Prior to the failure there was a high pitched background noise which I had not noticed before.
Could something to do with the Haldex coupling oil change have caused the rear diferential failure?
My Main Dealer is seeking a good will contribution from VW towards the cost of the repair.
