Used Audi quattro differentials, rear and front diffs, Q7 and Q5 SUV units, Haldex rear assemblies, delivered nationwide.
Need a used Audi differential for sale in South Africa? Whether it’s a longitudinal quattro rear diff on an A4 or A6, a heavy Q7 SUV unit, a Q5 carrier or a transverse Haldex rear assembly, we strip quattro models and keep the diffs aside. A whining or knocking diff is a common high-mileage fault, and a tested used unit is far cheaper than new.
Differentials are ratio-specific, so the final drive has to match your gearbox and axle. We also supply crown wheel and pinion sets on their own when the housing is reusable. Send us your VIN or registration and we’ll confirm the correct ratio and unit before anything ships.

A whining or knocking differential is a classic high-mileage quattro fault, and a tested used unit is far cheaper than a new carrier. We supply longitudinal rear diffs for the A4, A5 and A6, the heavier Q7 and Audi Q5 spares SUV units, and the transverse Haldex rear assemblies on the A3, S3, Q3 and TT. If your housing and bearings are sound, a ratio-matched crown wheel and pinion on its own can save you even more.
Differentials are ratio-specific: the final drive has to match your gearbox and the opposite axle, or you’ll get driveline wind-up. On many longitudinal cars the front diff is built into the main gearbox, so it’s usually sourced with the box rather than alone. Quote with your VIN and we’ll confirm the exact ratio before shipping.
If the diff has failed, the rest of the all-wheel-drive system is often due attention too. A worn transfer case frequently goes hand in hand with a tired rear diff, and on a very high-mileage car quoting a complete donor engine assembly alongside the driveline work can be cheaper than tackling each job months apart. Tell us the full picture and we’ll price it honestly.

We freight nationwide to all major centres. Find local delivery details for your city:
A longitudinal A4/A6 rear diff runs roughly R4,000–R10,000, a Q5 unit R4,500–R11,000, and a heavy Q7 diff R6,000–R14,000. Haldex rear assemblies start around R3,500 and standalone crown wheel & pinion sets from R2,500. These are often quote-on-request, send your details for an exact price.
The final-drive ratio must match your gearbox and the opposite axle, or you’ll get driveline wind-up and damage. Send us your VIN, registration or the ratio code on your existing diff and we’ll match it exactly before shipping.
Yes, if your differential housing and bearings are sound, a ratio-matched crown wheel & pinion (diff centre) is the cheaper route. Note that fitting one is specialist work, it needs correct shimming and backlash setup. We’ll advise whether a full diff or a gear set suits your situation.
A whine that changes with speed often points to a worn rear differential, but propshaft bearings, the Haldex and wheel bearings can sound similar. Describe when the noise appears (on power, on overrun, constant) and we’ll help you diagnose it before you buy.
Each diff is inspected for backlash, bearing noise and flange play before sale and sold with our standard 30-day warranty. We record the donor vehicle’s details where we have them.
Yes. We palletise the heavier carriers and freight them from Centurion to every province in South Africa; smaller Haldex units and gear sets courier easily. Collection from the yard is welcome.
