[@oscar4321234]

I've just done something similar on my car, front bearing was worn, got a new one from TPS no problems, about £35. Easiest way I found to get the stub axle out was to screw two longer bolts back into the flange against the housing, came out quite easily. I also managed to do it with the gearbox still installed in the car, was tight but just enough room to get the diff out.

[@ryanp6138]

Good idea!

[@srenlarsen3103]

i have play in my stub axle to. Is it the bearing in the differential you changed or just the stub axle?

[@stuartcooper9634]

What was the symptoms of your problem?

[@juhanipaloaho]

Little play is normal, i believe if its bearing, its the bearing inside the differential

[@seismictuning1881]

Great Video Guys, keep them coming !!! love the A5 series your doing.

[@LAW-Automotive]

Not a bearing and seal fitting kit in sight 😂 Luk and sachs spec 15mm of movement on the dmf... Shocked a new one had that much. I have fitted dmf from both suppliers on a few bkd pd2.0tdi and cfg cr2.0tdi engines and they were shagged could flop and clatter them all over the place. However the new dmf in all cases was super snug and firm with almost no free movement easily. FYI I've got a OB5 in my s4 and that front differential output shaft slop is the bearing and it's shim Cup worn. So I'm not sure the stub axle was the only culprit. Love the videos I'm so gelous of you daily jobs working on these machines.

[@gdjohny]

Good work as always. I got manual 3.0 tdi with a vibrations from over 80 mph and higher. So far I have changed all wheel bearings, wheels and tires four times so far, front suspension whole , new drive shafts , new propshaft , new rear diff, gearbox mount, new bearing for the shaft going through gbox to driveshaft , tracking , springs ...... and its still there. You gave me an idea to check the play in that flange .... Will play be noticeable with drive shaft still attached? What's the part number for that flange and bearings ?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

sounds like fun! You would be able to feel it. Drop us an email with your VIN if you can feel play and we can sort you out :)

[@matejpetras2016]

I have the 2 gen of this gearbox in my audi a4 year 2016. During first 30 minutes of driving when the oil is cold I feel quite strong vibrations while holding the brake pedal at stoplight. Vibrations are only on D and R. N and P is silky smooth. During any speed shifting seems ok no problem at all. After 30 minutes everything is at it should be. Vibrations are without any noise. I have brand new engine mounts but it didn't help. What could cause this problem?

[@Ben-fx5pb]

did you ever find out why it was doing it mine dose the same on 09 plate tho

[@AlexandruTDK]

It’s the 150ps model ?

[@rascuvalentin669]

Great video. After that you made some adaptations with VCDS? Because I can’t imagine without. Also, I have more play in to opposite shaft… I think is the aluminum housing not the bearing.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yes we did the adaptations

[@Mr-Curious]

very informative! 'm not a mechanic but i do my own maintenance. I have to say i was cringing a bit when you were puting that shaft in. Using that metal pry bar and hammer. Chills down my spine ;-)

So did the replacement of that shaft/cup resolve the noise. I have a A5 2.0 quattro manual transmission, with a whine whirl noise, and play in that cup. Your thoughts on whether it may resolve the whine

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It helped for sure

[@seanjohnson4224]

Was the any headway in determining the part number for the bearing. Someone makes that bearing, if the bearing cannot be replaced can a shim be used to help eliminate the movement in the shaft

[@thedarknesess]

Hi guys, awesome video !!! Did you guys have a vibration at 60 + Mph? or just noticed the play? I have the vibrations, not bearing nor CV, not tires and rims. I found the play in the stub shaft right side. Figured that must be it. Found your video only while taking things apart. I didn't take the transmission out, just removed the stub shaft. looks good, probably will order a new one and hope for the best? Any advice is appreciated ..Thanks

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We noticed some noises which is why we checked it but no vibrations. This usually down to prop shaft/centre bearing issues

[@jameswan670]

Hi. Is front differential fluid shares with transmission fluid? looks like transmission fluid is seperated.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

There are 2 fluids in these, DSG and Transmission/Differential

[@Churt97]

Would this cause any type of whine?🤔 mine has slight play and I also have a whine in 1st and 2nd?🤔

Excellent getting to the heart of it. You can and probably should get stiffer springs in the dual mass. Powerboat companies are the expert source when it comes to dual mass flywheels. They deal with 7000hp velvet drives. The DL501 OEM clutches are only rated to 450 ft-lbs. SSP Performance has 600 ft-lb and 800 ft-lb ($1,799) rated clutch packs. Also need viton seals and TCU tune for increased line pressure. Final stage is going to be an hd trans cooler.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

The stock seals are Viton, we have a TCM tune and held way over 600lbs. We had a few customers with SSP clutches that slipped worse that stock too! We fitted a transmission cooler in a different video. Thanks for info related to DMF's.

@Ryan P My Audi A5 3.0tdi quattro Sport 2008 has 6 speed auto gearbox. Is it tiptronic being 2008 model..not S-tronic? If it is tiptronic what would be the max Nm the gearbox could safely handle..less than S-tronic or similar? Also I have noticed that after I have driven around a bit more aggressively (still in D not S mode) 2nd gear tends to change into 3rd gear a lot later in higher rpms nearly around 3rpms (not flooring at all driving calm now) + I can hear some sort of a whinny noise until the gear finally changes. Car is now at 148k miles with no previous record of any gearbox/diff oil changes. Love your A5 project by the way. As I'm only 1hr away from Darkside Developments is suspect you'll be seeing my A5 :) Thanks

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It's worth changing the oil before doing anything else. The TCU adapts to driving so if you are driving aggressively, the shift points will change. The Tiptronic is rated to 700Nm but we have seen more through them

I have 2012 3.0 tdi quattro DL501 Clutch 2 high pressure error Please help

[@DarksideDevelopments]

What exact fault code?

[@omerkoca1237]

Darkside Developments P17D7

[@DarksideDevelopments]

@@omerkoca1237 If you haven't already, I would do a full service on the box, all the oils and filters www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/search-results/?q=dl501

[@omerkoca1237]

Darkside Developments thanks

[@coreyengland822]

Rated for big horsepower? I was always informed that these s tronic boxes can only take up to 600nm of torque so has always restricted me from going further. What can they genuinely take reliably do you know? Great video guys!

[@ryanp6138]

Rated to 1000nm and people have gone beyond. Servicing these boxes is what people neglect and blame components. Ours was likely never done at 95k. 30-40 on the DSG side and 60 to 80 on the gear side.

[@coreyengland822]

Ryan P thanks for the reply. I imagine the clutch pack needs uprating after 750nm or so? What’s the next limiting factor after the clutch?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

@@coreyengland822 We have managed to make it slip a little now but increasing the clutch pressure before we swap the clutch pack out.

[@MrClunk999]

Brought a uprated clutch from you (Link below) how long do you recommend bedding in for?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

With any kit ~300 miles stop / start driving should do the job (Y)

Ive got a problem with my A5 3.0tdi gearbox (auto) It sometimes dont shift up into gear properly and it starts to smell burnt but then when it cooled down it runs like normal, even sometime i just have to restart the car... This happens when ever it feels like, i cant predict when.. Do you have a clue of whats going on? Sorry for mu bad english..

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Have you had the box serviced at all? If not do that first.

[@Dj_amazing]

I would filter and reuse that oil it’s pre brexit it’s like forking out £60 quid worth of drinks and she don’t put out 😳
