3rd Gear over-run noise

Hello all,

I've had my turbo for about 3 months and have become increasingly concerned by the noise my gearbox / diff is making in 3rd gear over-run (off the power). I've read these cars AWD system can be noisy but this seems excessive. Anyone else here experienced 'diff whine' in 3rd over-run like this? . Other than that g/box seems good. its 2001 manual with 60,000K's

If it is making noise on decel there is something wrong.Most likely a backlash issue.Get it checked!

Thanks guys

I'll start with the basics....oil change, 2nd opinion etc however it doesn’t sound like a good news noise. Will post findings given it seems to be unique to my car!

1q2w3e4r, I'll PM some contact details.

Cheers!!
