Title: Swingaxle ZF spare parts Post by: Rune on January 23, 2009, 08:17:14 am Is it still possible to get parts for the old ZF differentials? My unit could really need new friction discs (clutches) and spring shims..

I hope you´re alright! Maybe you could ask at ZF directly or otherwise call Ulrich Eckstein (0049-40 530 488 30 / 0049-171 540 08 72) Good luck! ;) Bye, Tobi P.S.: any progress with your engine? Title: Re: Swingaxle ZF spare parts Post by: Rune on January 23, 2009, 15:53:29 pm Hi Tobi,
I have tried through ZF in Norway, and they are still looking into it. I have been in touch with another guy and he might have something.. If not I will try your guy. No progress what so ever on the motor, I am stuck in a lazy winter mode :-\ Title: Re: Swingaxle ZF spare parts Post by: RMS Boxer Service on January 23, 2009, 17:28:17 pm I was told years ago that the friction discs (clutches) and spring shims should fit from a BMW ZF lsd.
Not sure what BMW model, sorry. Also know of a swede who tried to fab some of those parts, but I don't know if he ever got it all figured out. I saw the very first prototypes i 2001 in his garage. /Rolf Title: Re: Swingaxle ZF spare parts Post by: Zach Gomulka on January 23, 2009, 17:37:53 pm Hey Rune! Is that the unit you picked up in Phoenix last year? I remember the grin you had on your face with that thing in your hands while we were driving around the pits in the GTV :) Good buy!

I remember the grin you had on your face with that thing in your hands while we were driving around the pits in the GTV :) Good buy! Hi there Zach. Yeah that's the one :) The guy sold it to me as a used superdiff, and I paid used superdiff $ for it. Cheap.. Finally took it of the shelf and had a closer look at it, from the looks of things, it has had it's share of corner action over the years hehe.. Title: Re: Swingaxle ZF spare parts Post by: Bruce on January 24, 2009, 05:07:45 am Maybe you could ask at ZF directly .... Waste of time. About 5-6 years ago ZF of Germany stopped supporting anything older than 10 years old.I was told years ago that the friction discs (clutches) and spring shims should fit from a BMW ZF lsd. Not for Swing axle. There is no other diff that looks even close to a VW swing axle ZF.Not sure what BMW model, sorry. Some BMW discs are identical to those in a VW IRS ZF. One is the discs from a BMW 2002. Some Alfa ZF discs are also the same. Don't know the model though. What is the part number of the diff engraved on the outside? Starts with 4061 001 xxx Title: Re: Swingaxle ZF spare parts Post by: Rune on January 25, 2009, 17:44:32 pm What is the part number of the diff engraved on the outside? Starts with 4061 001 xxx 4061 001 010 / L 25854 Title: Re: Swingaxle ZF spare parts Post by: Bruce on January 27, 2009, 05:44:33 am 4061 001 010 8 bolt ring gear8 through bolts without the 4 pins bi-metalic bronze/steel discs, 6 on each side Those type of discs are hard to find. I have never seen or heard of NOS ones. How bad are the original ones? Title: Re: Swingaxle ZF spare parts Post by: Rune on January 27, 2009, 08:54:07 am Hm, bummer..Most of the discs on one side are shot.. Worn through the bronze.
I can e-mail you some pics later. Looks like it might end up as an ornament on the shelf then.. Title: Re: Swingaxle ZF spare parts Post by: bugkeeper on February 24, 2009, 09:54:29 am Hey Rune, I had my ZF redone by a guy who works for ZF in Passau Bavaria Germany. He is the ZF LSD crack in Germany and was recommended to me by ZF. He makes spare parts, friction discs (laser cut I believe) and bolts and everything. He does old ZF LSDs for old Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos and others. He did mine at a reasonable price and it is like new now. He does it on the side and I do not want to name him in the forum. Send me an Email and I let you know his Name, Email and Phone Number.
