The diff itself isn't a problem it's the install cost, been quoted anywhere from $1200-$2000 for the job and my trusted mechanic tells me he wouldn't trust anyone in Canberra to do it. This means gearbox out-ship to sydney (diff technics or someone similar)- ship back to canberra- re install= big $$$ and too long off the road as it's a daily.
what about CVWC wouldn't they be able to do the instal??
There's something very wrong in Canberra then! The diff install is a couple of hour job once the gearbox is out - I've just done one!! It's only big money as there's labour time to remove and reinstall the box (far more involved in a VR than a 4cyl too)...Quote:

Maybe I should have a chat with Pete at Belconnen, he seems to be more into the modding side of things.
You need lots of special tools to swop diffs around, but you can put a cupra guts into a vr6 case for $1000-$1200. Then just bolt it into you car.
The last one of these I did is now with KIILZ in Brissie.
:cool46: and I will let you know what I think once its in :biggrin:
Please do Killz, interested to know how it goes.
