Default c6 a6 differential

Has anybody had a problem with a grinding noise in the differential and what solved the problem? 2200 miles and when turning sharp it grinds and sometimes makes somewhat of a clunking noise for the first few feet.
Thanks

I do not have that problem on my C6 A6 but I do with my blazer. In that case it is athe locking differential when it is very hot out and I turn off a highway.

Take it to the dealer and have 'em check the VIN for service requirement on your diff... is it an 05 or 06 model? The 05's had a service advisory to change the diff fluid...had mine done...no problems to date...they say it doesn't like a lot of straight line driving either...do some figure eights in an empty parking lot to lubricate...hope this helps.

Took it in today and they put an additive in the rear and drove some figure 8's and it is now just fine. Thanks for the replies.
