    Default VT whine

    My 98 VT Berlina has a bit if a whine when I'm doing 60-70ish and upwards.

    The sound comes from the rear - someone told me it's probably the diff and suggested I check the oil

    Oil levels seem fine - is it worth draining and changing the oil? If its not the oil, will I need to replace the diff?


    Cheers.

    A better quality/thicker oil CAN reduce diff whine. Ask you mechanic what he would recommend.
    It may not do the job, but it's worth a shot before getting drastic.
