The seller is replacing the harness for me. Crisis averted!

Hi Guys, I ordered a hitch off ebay with harness for a good deal but when I received it, the black connector on the harness was broken. The pins on the wiring are pretty stiff and stay put when I just attach them to the wiring terminals on the tow module. Given how well they seat like this, I figure I'll just make do with what I have. Can someone please let me know which wire goes in each spot for the connector (circled in red)? From there, I can match them up to the tow module. TIA!

Sorry to hear that. Especially after you went through so much with yours!

Does anyone have experience with replacing the cardan flange seal on the front differential? I have a leak on mine and was planning on replacing it. But, then I saw a post on rennlist about a user that replaced the similar seal on his rear diff and the preload/rolling resistance was not set correctly resulting in the differential failing. Can someone please shed some more light on the preload/rolling resistance part of the procedure? I am used to swapping out these seals from my past Audi but the procedure was straight forward, no preload.

Hi guys, I am reading about installing a trailer hitch and have some questions. I found the hitch at a local parts yard for $50, score! The problem is that it doesn't have any wiring on it. Some posts mention vehicles being prewired for the trailer hitch, does this include the wiring that runs from the hitch to the tow controller? I believe it is part # 955-612-506-00. The kicker is that the best price I've found on this harness is $230. Just wondering if there is a better way to do this from someone who has already btdt. Outside of that wiring harness, everything else from the TSB seems pretty straightforward. I have a 04 CTT. Thanks!

Common problem, the servo motors that work the flaps for the a/c system go bad. Older posts show that the worm gear pops out of place and newer motors have a better design. You can find more info in the link below.

Thanks for that video! There is a low end whine/whirring noise on my CTT that drove me nuts and eventually I was told it is normal. Sounds like you have it too.
-
I put a 50/50 mix of Lucas oil stabilizer and gear oil into the front diff and it is quieter now. Not gone entirely but the whirring/grinding noise on acceleration is much less audible. It looked like my front diff had been flushed at some point and was overfilled. Hopefully that was the reason for the leak.
-
Yup, the intake gasket was not seated correctly! On the plus side, removing and replacing the intake is straightforward for me now. Thanks for the tip on the throttle body. I did that a couple of months ago when I purchased the CTT. Looks like the leaky seal on my diff is part #16 in the diagram below. Had the same issue on the input shaft of the rear diff in my Audi. Gonna mark up this project for a later date.

Those pictures are very helpful, thank you! I checked the lines and they are connected correctly. I can not see or feel any obvious leaks on the drivers side from where I hear the hissing. I have the sinking feeling that I will need to pull the manifold again. Maybe I did not get it seated correctly :/ I'll keep the thread updated about the diff. I also have some sort of diff noise but only when accelerating around 25mph. I plan on dumping a half bottle of Lucas oil stabilizer in with fresh gear oil.

Hey All, Doing a bunch of work on the 955 CTT and ran into a couple of snags. First, this was my first time pulling the intake manifold. I mixed up some of the vacuum lines at the rear of the manifold. I can hear a loud hissing noise while the engine is running but all the lines are connected. Doing the coolant T's, I disconnect the gaggle of lines and Im 99% sure that at the end of a long day, I crossed some around. Does anyone have a picture or diagram of where the hoses at the back of the intake are suppose to be? Second, I am also doing a coolant flush. I drained it at the plug on the bottom of the radiator and caught 1.5-2 gal of coolant. How can I drain the rest from the block? When I bought the car, it started leaking coolant and I topped it off with several gallons of distilled water before throwing in the towel and having it towed. Therefore, I would like to drain as much of the system as I can and fill it with the correct dilution. Last one - I have fluid leaking at the input of the front differential. I have attached a photo of it as well. What's it take to R&R this one? On my last car (Audi), the diff output flange seals were the culprit for these kinds of leaks. Outside of that, it was surprisingly smooth sailing. Did the coolant T's, CET replacement, torque strut, and valve cover/spark plug/cam seals. The DIY articles here are very helpful! Thanks for the help guys!
