No leak from the diff noticed but will double-check. I'll go for a drive and try to figure whether it's coming from one side or the other - maybe get someone to sit in the back.

Diff whine

My 85,000 mile 2003 A8 has a whine from the rear of the car at motorway speeds, below 55 - 60 it's totally absent. I think it's from the diff but can't be 100% sure. Any thoughts or suggestions?.

Thanks, I've downloaded Manual 2 current flow basic equipment but I can't identify the ignition switch - is it E408 on page 45/3? The description is confusing me.
