Thank you @DCPU ! That answers a question: I was wondering why the "Torx 40" "wrench" was included in the tool kit under the driver's seat!

Think the filler is a STD 8 or 10mm Allen key

My agent hasn't contacted me about the transfer case. I wonder are the improved cases (have the additional "B" added. My VIN is lowish, but the case is S03207. I wonder if it was changed prior to delivery?

Just shows there's no apparent pattern to the allocation, I have a VIN just lower than yours but a transfer case serial number of 2143.

I think I read somewhere (maybe this thread) there were issues with some early ones in low range and they swapped them out

 

[DCPU]

I think they still are.

One explanation was only the first swaps were for new cases; the old boxes were being rebuilt and then used as replacement on an exchange basis.

When handed over, my vehicle had already clocked up 150 km, which suggests that it has been extensively tested. The vehicle runs well and apart from the usual software problems there are no abnormalities. Switching from high to low is also possible. When driving on local forest paths in Low (approx. 30 km/h) there was an extremely grinding noise from the area of the gearbox on an incline of approx. 15%. I've tried it several times now on such inclines. Every time this noise occurs both in low and in high. It disappears as soon as the slope decreases or on the flat. Sometimes it's louder and sometimes quieter. It's definitely coming from the gearbox area and it's not the noise that the diesel makes between 1700 and 2000 rpm. I have the feeling, that the noise comes as soon as there is a little more load on the transmission. Has anyone else had this experience?

Not ok, take it back

I have already informed the dealer. But the initial reaction is the same as always when the customer complains about a noise. The problem is that the slopes at the dealership are not that steep. I will now document the experiments several times with my cell phone. You can hear the sound from there.

Does the noise go away when the center diff lock is engaged? Cables may require adjustment. Had this issue on cable shift trucks a few times with cable incorrectly adjusted and selector linkage on transmission not positioned correctly in the detents.

No, it doesn't make a difference, but I'll double-check that as well.

Is this resolved now?

Your vehicle must be nearly older than your transfer case - do you know if this is a swapped out transfer case?

No, not that I am aware of. But I bought it on the 15 of June after my test ride at my dealer. It was there, free. Not sold. So I said, "It's a wrap, I take it". It was the only one they had available for sale. So I guess it was one of the early produced cars from the Hambach parking lot, that at a certain point they just shipped to their dealerships. After conversion to a two seater, I have it on the road since the 24 of August. Super happy with it. Almost 5000km on the ODO now. No complaints except for the normale software hick-ups that everybody has.

Do you have the Certificate of Conformity - the date of manufacture of the vehicle will be printed on that:

As told, 24/11/2022. That's the date on the COC

Oh, a misunderstanding ~ I thought that was the date on your transfer case plate. Do you have that date?
