Anyone had issues with Diff on VE's

[Ray]

l am noticing a whiring noise inside the cabin of my car. l think it might be the Diff has anyone had issues with their diff on a VE?

[Wonky]

A few guys have had issues with the 3.7 diff (HSV M6 diff) which some have put in their SS/SSV but apart from that I can't remember hearing of any others. Doesn't mean to say they aren't out there of course but these ZF diffs seem much better than the diffs in previous models.

[EXCESSV]

the ZF diffs arent the greatest bits of gear unfortunately.
lots of ppl have had issues.

i had issues with my stock 3.45 and the HSV 3.7 and am onto number 2 of the 3.7...first 3.7 replaced under warranty..

current one is not flash either but until funds permit for a Harrop TrueTrac it will have to do

see a dealer about warranty but u wont get too far unfortunately

Thanks, l toke my car to Holden, they acknowlegded the issue, and are ordering a new diff, pretty sure its under warranty.

With mine, i don't know if its normal but i cant even touch mine after a drive it is that freaking hot its not funny.

Could you also describe it as a mild low frequency vibration, particularly noticeable at a specific speed?

I have the above.

Unfortunately a new diff has not fixed the problem. The dealer has run out of ideas and called in Holden to investigate further.

:bawl:silly question i know...but we are talking about a dealer...

did they replace the actual 12 tailshaft bolts????

i know for a fact a slightly bent one or two can cause an annoying vibration at certain speeds...i have changed a few sets on mine coz of it :eek:

Was driving the company's VE yesterday on Port Road into the City. On Cruise Control at 60Km, there was a 'harmonic' (resonance) noticable - 'rolling in and out' as I drove!

Not sure if it was indeed a rear tyre harmonic?

My was noticable at any speed above 40km/h a clearly a mechanical noise.
It was not exhaust drone, or bad tyre wear as the dealer tried to point out to me before even taking the car for a drive.

Hiya Bullockbob - I have the same problem in my Adventra. Have changed tailshaft, new diff , new wheels/tyres and still have this dreaded vibration at 95-100kmh. I have noticed though if I pull it back into 3rd and maintain the same speed, the vibration is worse. Would this be pointing to the torque converter in the auto???

No question is silly :)

It is a dealer and I have no idea if they did or not. I might try and gently ask the question though.

Thanks

I'm no expert but I do know that I've got a manual :rofl:

Sorry, just trying to inject some humour into a not very funny situation.

Might be better to start your own thread for this one Moonshines, as it's a very different model, and you suspect a very different issue. :)
