Does the ZS EV drivetrain have a differential?
Yes there is a differential of course, there has to be !.The gearbox is immaterial. If there is only one drive motor then there must be a differential.
Maybe there's no oil in it ?My car has now done about 8000 miles, and I thought it might be getting a bit noisier. However, it could be that I am now used to very low noise.........
Mine is more like a dry bearing noise when coming off the power and goes as soon as you go into regen .Basically when free wheeling. Had this noise before on other drive trains which has been a bearing moving around in the casing or lack of oil feed, just waiting to see if it gets worse before taking it in as they will say they cannot hear it.( 40 plus Yrs in the motor trade fixing gearbox's etc so I do have an idea of what I'm talking about)Slightly off topic - does anyone notice how noisy the transfer gearbox can be? Especially at low speed it whines a lot and you can hear it engage and disengage teeth when on and off the power at very low speeds?
Not at 30 to 40 mile an hour.I thought it was the legal noise they have to make for pedestrians to hear us coming, didn't think it was whining
Unless there wasn't any in there to start with.I think if I'd lost all the oil out of the gearbox I might have noticed the mess!
