Audi A3 8P 2.0 TDI 6 speed manual differential noise

[Ok_Willingness_7735]

Hey guys, recently discovered that I have a noise when in 1,2 gear turning and under load.

Turns out it is the differential, on these cards Audi/VW kinda fed up with these... the noise goes away once the gearbox is warm but until then its annoying af... the car is 2.0 TDI engine code is CBAB 104kW.

It is the same issue as posted here, only thing is OP didn't gave any detail on where to find the differential to buy:

differential; 69/20/25; KNS, KXX, LNZ, NFU , any help is appreciated and BTW I am from EU.

Your best bet would be to buy a second hand one from eBay including the rest of Europe in the search criteria.
