Rear drive out of transfer box come out!!

[Mikes]

Ahhh the flange where the rear prop out take from the transfer box has come out, so the oil is leaking and the prop flange is rubbing on the steering rack.
I’ve tried pushing it in and it just come back out.
What should hold it in and what could have caused it to bust??……
My personal diagnosis is:- did the garage put it on a rolling road and bust it when doing the MOT. (I never normally leave the car but on this occasion I had no choice).
Help please!!
many thannks

The center nut could have come loose, fit a new seal & torque to 250 lbs foot

Is that behind the flange?
I did hear a bang of some kind just before it bust, I was accelerating fast!

[Chris S]

It is between the flange & the rubber donut, email with exploded view sent!

Ii it went with a bang then it sounds more like the bearing has fell to pieces, in which case the gear teeth are likely to be shot as well, you will see as soon as you drain the oil!

useful information, I’m going to have to learn some German!
I guess that the transfer box is the same on all golfs, as mine is the
1.9tdi mk3 that has a better ratio for cruising on the motorways?

[Chris S]

All the O20 boxes use the same 20/21-21/20 ratio in the transfer box & rear diff.
