[diesel_mercedes] Rear End Failure

 

I don't use sawdust , I re filled it with EP140W gear oil........

It's quieter now after the second refill but still whines audibly whenever the RPM's and speed hit that sweet spot I want to drive at.....

I still can't find my Mercedes Factory Spec. booklet so please if anyone has the ratio to models info post it up .

I need to begin the hunt and I don't even know if gasoline Coupe is the same ratio as diesel.....

BTW : this failure made me nervous so I jacked up and blocked the Wagon , drained and refilled it too Saturday morning , I added a rare earth magnet to it's drain plug even though the old oil came out fine .

TIA ,

We had a 1948 Willis Jeep station wagon my mother drove from Corvallis, Oregon to Los Angeles in three days; 1954.

Remember what I-5 looked like in 1954?

The oil leaked out of the diff the first day so it whined the next two days; 45mph the whole way with three kids.

p.s. do you have a source of sawdust for Your diff?  J
