Default B6 3.0 Quattro front diff problem, HELP!!

My front diff, either bearing or pinion, I dont which, makes a loud noise while driving, i replaced the axles and all wheel bearings already, and new tires, weird thing is when I put the front wheels off the ground, it makes the noise out the front diff, when I hold the driver wheel the noise seems to come from passenger wheel, when i hold the passenger wheel, no noise, but it is coming from the diff. Audi is stumped and wants me to pay 5000 for a tranny, help please!!!!

Sounds like the bearing in the diff on the passenger side is bad. When you hold the passanger side wheel it won't spin and makes no noise. When it spins the is the noise from the diff...

I hope that helps.

Thx
