Z06 rear diff questions
When installing the Z06 diff in a C6 / A6, do you just loop the cooling lines with a rubber hose? If I wanted to run a cooler can I just use a standard trans cooler. If so where do you mount this cooler?

On the Z06 the cooler mounts on to the driver's side rear of the side cover. The back side of the cooler has a fitting that goes directly into the side cover. The cooler line comes from the bottom of the diff to the pump (mounted to the rear cover) and goes into the cooler. Just remember that the cooler has 2 sides (one for the diff and the other for the TR6060 trans). You will not need the trans cooler side.

How are you getting the z06 diff and cooler on an a6? I thought it wouldnt hook up.
Im not saying you cant do it, I just want to know how.
Im interested in doing this (esp having a factory 3.42) after the warranty is up

So where do the lines go
