I'd assume the only reason to keep the ED is just to run off rebates and incentives.

Oh wow, I honesty say its not a total surprise with the lack of numbers and advertising they were pushing.

Most likely the kitties wasn't hot enough.

Actually your delievery and regulation bs charges changes depending on consumption. I deal with this crap daily I've basically got my properties down to 1-7kw/day now and the main wearhouse is completely off grid.

Weld failed on mount=kaput quite simply put. Sold my smarts and with the lack of demand never got around to jigging and fabricating any other versions sadly. Its not easy to do as theres quite limited space to stuff a cat, resonator and a flex pipe. Would have to be mandrel bent or pie cut in order to make the first turn down.

Oh man after this is resolved I think we need to take you out for a brew, wish you and your family well man

Do you find out if it was the differential or the gearing?

My bad thought the world of automotive assumed They also have a problem with their IC's (Intercooler for you old farts) freezing up in the winter then TB (Timing belt) tensioners deciding to bugger off as they please, Thats the reason why I'm driving primary MK4's and Mercedes instead of a newer VW's.

Haha I was right (ish). Its as common as our door latch problems but at a tune of 10k. Here's a thread that's at 75 pages of failures http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=299854

Dam glad to hear your family is ok. Car took a big hit!

Yes I agree infiltration is a problem but mileage is the ultimate wear and tear. It doesnt sand paper itself to bits if it doesnt move. . .

How many kms is the real question

If its under warranty dont even bother doing it yourself. Grease in the rim barrel is usually CV Boots going or bearings that's realistically the only two things that contain fluid in that location (other then break lines).

Sounds like a CV Boot went kaput

I agree to a point, but touching the SAM is risky and can open a can of worms.
