Can't speak for the drain plug as not touched it but the fill plug certainly has a strong magnet. Saved me dropping it once. Presume both are the same.Are the diff drain plug’s magnetic to help trap the fine metallic material in the oil?
Are any of the diff plug parts one time use?They have an o ring
After noticing the front seal leaking I've topped up ours 5 times in the last 3 months and never changed or put a new seal in. About 400ml roughly to date, (circa 2200 miles).Are any of the diff plug parts one time use?
What is the Tool Type and Size for the Drain/Fill Plugs?I've never done changed diff fluid before so I am going to put my pride in the backseat and just ask. Are these these the drain/fill ports?
From a process standpoint, my understanding is that this is pretty simple.
1) Start with a warm axle
2) Remove fill plug
3) Remove drain plug & drain
4) Replace drain plug; torque to 31Nm
5) Fill with SAE 80w90; 2.1L for both front and back
6) Replace fill plug; toque to 31Nm
Am I missing anything?
