YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SERVICE YOUR CAR AND HERE'S WHY! | Life of a Mobile Mechanic

Wow! This was expensive for our customer. Unfortunately, his differential failed and called us to install a replacement part. He stated that he just heard a bang coming from the rear and et voila, there goes the diff.
2x Amazon Vans that we also had to do. This one we actually enjoyed as it was in a very secure, flat area.

old timers can learn from this, man gets the job done no tea!

[@adamweston4152]

I'm shocked at the price of that diff and I was appalled by the rust on the X trail for a six year old car, not a good advert for nissan. I'm happy to see you guys using axle stands too. This is my second video of you working and it's a pleasure to see you on the jobs and you must be good to have a contract with Amazon.

Great job guys those amazon drivers are mental crazy drivers no patience 😅

[@leeverink32]

For a manufacturer lifetime is 100.000 miles (ish) After that things start to break because peope hear life time of the car so if some one buy the car with 90,000 on it and it breaks down they say "but its life time off the car" Then you can say tecnicaly it already is at its end of life thats wy stuff breaks on the car.

[@AJB1]

Totally agree that cars need proper servicing, but I'm not sure that running out of oil would crack the casting in two like that. The teeth on the crown gear don't look too bad either. I wonder if the casing broke first, and that's why the oil came out. Could be impact damage, or someone jacked it by the diff if it's not meant to be jacked that way, or just a bad casting. My money is on failure of the case though rather than it running dry first.

[@themarvelousvlog]

We could only really speculate and hear what the customer said😅. He said he was on the motorway and boom there goes his diff. Part of his diff actually hit the car behind and had to spend over 1k to repair the damaged car behind him. Let’s just say it wasn’t a cheap one for him. My money is still on old oil. Oil inside was black and thick, like CV Boot grease, as seen on the video although I can’t rule out what you guys are saying as it is still a possibility

[@aaron___6014]

If it was bad casting then there should be several reports of this kind of failure. Ive seen casting failures on land rovers and it occurs on many many vehicles. I've heard of diffs breaking like this to do too much flex or torsion, which could be caused by a failure in any of the support structures or bearings. It's all speculation though.

[@Badger66]

You have my admiration for doing all this on the floor!!

Interesting with the Nissan Xtrail has the same rear subframe as my 2011 Nissan qashqia and they do rust unfortunately and will get worse if not maintained with winter protection. Maintenance is important as got caught out not bleeding my concentric slave cylinder on the clutch despite doing everything else.

Lifetime means to the end of the warranty period.

[@stig-gunnarsvensson4765]

Ni är grymma . Utomhus..... tyvärr svenska

[@fanfeck2844]

Did the diff leak the oil, or was it really because of age? Surprised at the price of the thing

[@themarvelousvlog]

The diff never leaked according to the customer and we actually checked the MOT certificate, nothing of that sort was ever mentioned🤷. I was surprised too!

[@aden3113]

I'm also a little skeptical to some of the supposed "lifetime" fluids that the manufacturers like to boast about. Strangely enough though, I did change the manual transmission fluid for the first time on my 2004 seat ibiza a few weeks ago and it looked basically brand new for 20 year old oil with a slight brownish tinge, I didn't notice any difference in shift feel either, felt like a waste honestly. 80K miles on the odometer.

[@themarvelousvlog]

It probably had a clutch replacement/new driveshaft of some sort somewhere down the line? I can only speculate but they usually go very orange in colour or greyish black. It’s difficult to say because if you go to the manufacturer of the diff/gearbox they will always recommend to replace it around the 50-80k miles. BMW is a good example of this. ZF (Gearbox Manufacturer) states in their website 50k intervals whilst BMW states ‘lifetime’ 😅
