What to do after blowning a rear differential R36.

You are correct I should have informed everyone about my findings as it would help others, just like I have recieved help.

Next time.

Wasn't meant as a criticism at all
Just makes other owners a bit nervous hearing your story. These are fairly complicated cars and now they are out of warranty some failures can be expensive to remedy.
It's reassuring to know that the diffs are built strong enough to run without lubrication for 10-15k

So did the mechanic wear the cost of replacement?

[Waah954]

Yeah he did, his top guy.

Fixing what he stuffed up doesn't make him a top guy.

Fixing without question & with a smile on his face does.

[Waah954]

He could have easily lied said the diff just went.

Let's not act like all mechanics out there are honest.

[Umai Naa!!]

At the end of the day, he made a boo-boo, he fixed it at his own expense, and if you're still happy to go there, then everyone's a winner

The thing to take away from this, is that anyone who's veiwed the thread has probably learnt something new about their own car.

[Waah954]

True that.

I'd suggest looking on ebay at the moment as there are 3x R36's being wrecked at the moment.
