its already been to my trusted local garage over the rear end noise. we replaced the tyres and it was a lot quieter. but then i could hear the whirring noise at 35 and 70mph its got worse over about 300 miles. They have had the stethoscope on it. i had the haldex service done @ about 35k. it went just for that specifically. i took ownership at 31k and it should have been done at 30 so i wanted to make sure it was done. Lol yeah i`ve read a few threads eh!

Hi My beloved Octavia has just come back from Midland VW with a terrible prognosis, The rear diff is screwed. The cars unmodified and has only done 59k. I have had it 4 years done just under 30k mostly on the motorway. full main dealer service history and ibex service. they have just confirmed what i already suspected its making all the right noises so i have no reason to question them. They have provided me with a part number of 0CQ 525 010 S for a replacement which is an update from the one on the car. they are happy to fit if i supply. i think the only option i have is to look at a recon. i am not keen on ordering off ebay so i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or offer any other suggestions.
