Spent the morning running around getting the 240D registered (more on that
later) and just finally got time to start actually calling places about the
190D diff.

I thought Fred's parts car was a turbo, with 2.65:1 diff. That would have been

The car Fred DRIVES is a 2.5 turbo, his parts car is a 2.2l manual trans like
mine.

Maybe adjusting the preload on the pinion, but Mobil 1 will just get
dirty very fast
May be a good time to flush with a cleaner of some kind.

My Indy spent some time with it running on the lift and says he's pretty
sure its the diff. It seems unlikely to me that it would immediately get
quieter when changing to Mobil 1 if it were wheel bearings. It is a bearing

Anything is possible. I did not see the condition
True, unless it was very low. And if so run low, the differential
won't be around much longer.

This is an easy job, 15 minutes the first time 10 thereafter. I put the car up
on ramps, the 190D is hard to get under... My driveway is sloped slightly which
probably caused me to not drain out
Maybe turn the car around so the ass end is downhill.

I wouldn't know! Inserting a tube into the rear end did seem related however.
