P38 Transfer case noise

 After only 1000km the transfer case started to make a lot of noise. 

At first I thought I had an engine problem because the noise seemed to come from the front off the car.

After some investigation I concluded the TC is the culprit. Before that I was thinking the gearbox was the problem so I changed the gearbox oil and filter twice.

Eventually upon changing the oil from the TC it was evident that this was my problem. The oil that came out was not looking good and I found metal particles in it and the little mesh filter was clogged up.

Fortunately I found a second hand unit, I had to drive 4 hours to pick it up and bring it home. 

Of course in the back of my head I was thinking what if I put this one in and it's no good?

So I found a company that is able to check its condition. Yesterday I got the news that it looked brand spanking new on the inside and no work is needed. 

I'm so glad this worked out nicely, now it is just a matter of taking the old one out and putting "the new one" in.
