- Supercharged VT Calais
Hey guys i bought my first car which is a 1998 VT calais supercharged.
i got it pretty cheap, but ive since had to rebuild the motor.
the car has 230k on the clock, and the diff has a rather loud whine.
the mechanic that is rebuilding my diff said itd be near 1000 bucks to put a recond diff in.
im pretty mechanically minded, and there are tons of VT's being wrecked on gumtree etc.
can i get any diff out of any VT and put it in my calais?? because i rekon itd be way cheaper than the 600-700 bucks he said it would cost?
is it a job i could tackle myself, coz i dont have much money, especially after the rebuild and not even having my P's yet.
Cheers for any help or ideas
