C4.1 Diff: which way around?

Taking the car apart for a rebuild and totally forgotten which way the diff goes?. As you look at the car from back to front (car driving away) which side is the adjuster :confused:

i did mine the opposite way to start with by mistake:eh?: changed it now but what difference would it make? asking because i didn,t notice any difference just a hunger for more knowledge.

Think mine comes loose the other way, hence why I needed it correct..... Done three duffs today's and all as smooth as sex wee!

As I understand it, it is to stop the diff loosening! The direction of drive will tend to tighten it/hold it in rather than loosen it.

Usually opposite side to the spur gear....unless you have a 4wd

Makes sense, nice one :thumbsup:
why is the 4wd different?
