what should I use to flush out diff

Recommended Posts

I have my P/F E30 320i diff out and the cover off. The oil was very black and has left a lot of residue inside the case. Is there a solvent I can flush out the case with that won't damage any seals or bearings?

Wash it out with white spirits or petrol. Use eurothane to seal the rear cover and I would also replace the seals while it was out. Use 75w90 full synthetic oil

Thanks Glenn, I just had a bit of a break from the car. I have replaced the output seals as they were leaking a little. The input seal seems fine; I'll look up how to change it. If it's not a big deal I'll do that too.
