Yes all done as described. I can see from a picture that some diff covers are different to the one I have and the drain comes out flat on the back, as I mentioned mine is coming out at an angle that even after the tube is Moved the tool used points towards the diff and the tube is in the way of say a breaking bar type tool. Is the cover of my diff standard?

Still not done it chaps. I have cut down a 14mm hex and that’s fine but from what I can see my cover plate is a little different with the filling point and hence the nut I am trying to get out pointing downwards towards the dedion tube so the angle of attack is nuts, as it runs close to the tube because of this downwards angle I can not get any real force going, any other thoughts ? Many thanks

Many thanks for all the info. Great stuff.

Thank you. That’s made more access. Do you know the Allen key size by any chance?

Hi. I can see it but how are you meant to get it out with the dedion tube in the way, theres not a lot of room to get anything in there, is it a case of cutting down and Allen key, do you suck out the old oil as I have read others saying there is a drain but I can not see anything. I’m sure I’m being a bit thick on this. Thanks

Hi all. New to a BMW diff so a little confused as to how to drain it and refill it, it would appear that if there is a drain it’s on the rear plate , pointing, what would seem at a downwards angle with the dedion tube running close ish to it, I cannot see a drain on the bottom of the diff. Any suggestions, am I in the correct area?

Not used the site before and could not find a search bar but any instructions out there for 2014 car with a stack read out. R400d. Trying to see why I have no oil temperature other than the fact that a sensor may not be installed and I wouldn't know where to look for that? Thanks people.
