Last week I changed the fluid in my rear diff, that went fine except it was a struggle to fill at such an odd angle.
Today I tried to change the front diff fluid in my 2.5i with the 4EAT.
I couldn't find a torx t70 anywhere so I bought a T60 which seemed to have enough grip.
The first problem was that when I was putting force on the drain plug, it suddenly cracked loose.
It flew all the way out and I didn't have a chance to put my oil pan under it.
I got covered in the fluid. Then I wasted a lot of daylight trying to clean up the mess I had made.
By the time I was done with the cleanup, it was almost dark. This made me rush the filling process.
So I managed somehow to overfill the front diff.
The fluid level is a good way past the Full mark. In fact it's up to the point on the dip stick where the stick isn't flat anymore.
Now the question I have is, what's the harm in having the diff this full?
