Rear diff lock boot

Tim C · 10-07-11, 08:28 AM

The boot that goes over the "selector fork" on the rear diff of my RR has split.
Item 5 on the attached ETKA page.

They are NLA

I have a CQ rear diff that I can rob it from. But it seems a shame, as it is otherwise serviceable.

Does anyone have the boot from a diff that is destined for the scapyard or already been raided for bits ??

Check the Central Locking actuator in the door, I think it's the same part.

I dont mean to push in but - does this also apply to 3b S2's and their rear diffs?
Mines been a bit dribbly for some time and i was worried it would be hard to find the part.

Do you have to pull the fork right out to replace the boot/seal?

Thankyou.

I think you are thinking (lets not go down that path again

) of the boot on the pneumatic actuator.

I need the boot that goes over the arm that the actuator operates, in the diff.

Not sure Ian's thinking about the same thing (see above).

But the boot does pull off over the arm. It's just a push fit back into the diff housing.

Ah, may have read that a bit quickly with a hangover. My bad. Im glad its a quick fix, provided the part can be found. Mine is the same it has some corrosion under it thats split the rubber and its crying oil quite badly.

To help with finding another one, Do all the older quattros share the same rubber gaiter on the fork?

Thanks

Ah, right you are, you are thinking what I think I'm thinking...

At ease...
