Trust me for this kind of question.... After removing the rear axle flanges, I see brown grease at splines of one rear axle shaft and blackish colour grease at the other axle shaft. Upon seeing the brown grease, my first thought was "rust". Is that the colour of grease VW used at factory? Or am I looking at water intrusion into the rear axle assembly?
