How to find the right rear axle diff cover

Postby whelan » Mon Jun 19, 2017 4:31 pm

I've got a bad leak from the cover of my differential - the whole part is quite rusted so was hoping to fully replace rather than weld. The rear axle covers sold on ebay say they're compatible but are a different shape with different amount of bolts. I've got a 2006 ford transit 350 MWB 2402cc (it's an ex-BT openreach van that i'm converting to a camper). I can't find a part number on it and am struggling to find any leads - got any tips for me to find out a part number? Thanks in advance for any help!

Also...2006 was the "change-over" year from Mk6 to Mk7...so you need to tell us which one you have..!

Thanks for the help - it's a Mk6 so got a part number from the link you posted. They sell that part on ebay but when i put in my details it says it's not compatible...I'll message the seller to try and check it out...one step closer tho i think :)
