TT rear axle oil level?

Post by speedytinc » Sun Aug 29, 2021 4:38 pm

I am working on a TT. The truck is claimed to be an '18, but is a mix of other years.
The fill plug is just slightly below the axle tube.
That seems like the level would be too high. When compared to a non truck axle.
What is the correct level? Thanks.

The TT needs to be filled all the way to the bottom of that rear plug. Leaving it lower like is appropriate for T car rear ends is not appropriate for the TT rear end. Also don’t overlook the importance of the seal at the back of the driveshaft tube...
