Thanks a lot, good to know.

Thanks for your reply Ken, I did wonder about that, there is a very slight leak from the drives shaft seal as you can see from the picture, but I wouldn't have thought it would have lost much oil and I'd only driven 2 miles so be surprised if it overheated. But anyway it's toast now. Thanks for the advice about searching with code, I'll look for that and I'll look for that manual. I really appreciate your help, thanks

Just to add, does anyone know where I can find a decent second hand gearbox, I've trawled the internet and found nothing. Thanks

Hi, I'm new to the forum, I've introduced myself but not sure I put it in the right place and I've posted a question, probably in the wrong place, sorry I'm making a pigs ear and stumbling around like a drunk. So I'll have another go, sorry if I've done it twice, it's been a long day. I'm wondering if anyone's come across this problem ? The diff on my 2010 octavia 1.4tsi blew up today. There was no indication of any problems before, just the bang. Does anyone know if its possible to replace the diff or is it a complete gearbox? Also are there any manuals for that model? I don't mind doing it myself, but not without a manual. I'd really appreciate any advice thanks

Hi, I'm new to the whole forum thing, I hope I'm in the right place to say hello. I'm Tim, I live in Derbyshire and drive a 2010 Octavia 1.4 tsi. At least I did until my diff exploded this evening. Looks like my bank Holidays taken care of lol. I'm off to have a look around to see if anyone has any ideas before I start stripping down, so hello and I look forward to meeting you and exploring your forum. Hope you all have a good weekend, bye.
