Diff lock doesn't seem to be working...

(1/3) > >>

narked:
Whilst messing about in my 300tdi trying to kill some boredom in work today, I ended up with one wheel spinning. No problem, I thought to myself, I shall put it into diff lock! Pushed the little lever over to the left, and tried to reverse out. And, lo and behold, the same wheel simply continued to spin.

So, the diff lock isn't engaging. Nor do I get an illuminated indicator. Any suggestions? Could it possibly (please say yes) be something simple I can fix myself, or is it a big job?

Cheers

you should get a light come on to tell you its in but you can spin one wheel on each axle even with difflock engaged
get under neath and get someone to move the lever so you can check the linkage is all moving or connected

narked:
Only one wheel was spinning at the time, and no light comes on.

beast5680:
sounds like its not going in then you,ll need to get under and check the linkage first its not unknown for it to come adrift if it gets stiff

narked:
Ok, ta. Will have a nosey at that in the morning. Is that an under-the-car job, or a console out job?
