drive shaft

Hi, So my trusty T6 T32 DSG has just decided to start to make a horendus knocking sound “just off centre” steering at any speed …. It’s like a clunk that you can hear and feel literally just off centre. I drive the van regularly and it wasn’t doing it when I last parked it up 2 days ago...

Hi all Got this post over here - Random noise when driving - similar to stone in tyre or something || Updated Really am stumped so just thought would stick in here if anyone has any thoughts. Sounds like fouling etc but cant see anything at all leaving any marks etc. Wondered if something in a...

Hi My t5.1 has a clunk when starting and shifting from 1st to 2nd hard or when shifting to reverse. I’m pretty sure it’s the drive or stub shaft. I jacked up the front wheels today the right side has huge play it feels like it’s 5cm or more, left side has half maybe 2 or 3. I tested on another...

Hi, I have the above item, unused, it’s an heavy item and would be open to offers for it. Ideally buyer collects, but postage can be available at cost within the UK.

Almost a year to the day since having my gearbox stripped and repaired due to the spider gear spline failure I have noticed a leak at the driveshaft seal for the drivers (longer) driveshaft. I will speak to the company that repaired the gearbox on Tuesday and hopefully they will sort it...

Hi having trouble getting an issue diagnosed on my 65 plate shuttle, have had lots of work done in the last 12months but am struggling to get to the cause of my current issue. At around 40-45 mph when accelerating get quite a severe wobble from under the van,nothing before or after this speed...

Long time lurker, but unfortunately its time for a post. Please be kind :-) 3 years ago I bought a dud of a Caravelle. Stunning looking, top spec, drove well but really has been a money pit. New engine after a year (parts covered by VW) and now im being told it needs a new gearbox (90k on...

Hey all. I have a 2021 150 t30. It’s on 15k miles. I’ve noticed recently a clunky rattle when changing any gear and releasing the clutch. I can recreate the sound and it is exaggerated in the attached audio file. Sorry it’s not the best quality. By driving and dipping the clutch in and out...

Hi all, I may need new driveshafts soon, I have a 2017 204 4m DSG. Anyone managed to find any good aftermarket ones that are cheaper than genuine (which are £1500)?

Evening all. Among other irritating sounds coming from the dsg and cv boot. Above 60 mph when I accelerate I am getting a noise almost like there's a helicopter or chinook over head. I'm also, getting a clicking / clunking occasionally when I pull away. Its booked to go in the garage next week...

Hi, just asking for a bit of advice and thoughts on this excess play in my T5.1s 7 speed DSG gearbox. There is a clunk on acceleration and deceleration which sounds like it comes from the front left, but nothing when actually changing or going through the gears. I originally thought it could be...

I have a T32 T6 kombi 4motion and decided to remove the kombi seats and fit a Rib bed. Got underneath and looks like I need to remove the 4motion drive shaft and exhaust. Any tips, manuals, photo's, videos greatly appreciated. couldn't find much online. TIA

Evening all, having spoken with @CRS Performance last week, I pressed the button on the Koni Special active dampers and springs. They arrived the nect day but haveng had the chance to fit then until now. As my local garage / mechanic I'm was too busy and can't fit me, I decided to tackle the...

Hi Folks, Am new to T6's and not so much mechanically minded but have been wanting to purchase a van for a conversion to a bit of an expedition vehicle down the line a bit. So I guess Im going to have to learn... I have found a 2020 T6 4 motion but it had its suspension lowered. The garage...

So this happened on the way home from VW action today :( T6, 2019 at about 50k miles, 5 speed manual 102 ( remapped to 162) ( 321nm ) Driving lovely, down shifted to 3rd as approaching traffic and BANG, the worst sound I've ever heard, followed by knocking and grind to a rolling stop...

Hi all, I've had a good search around on here and elsewhere but I can't seem to find any info on how to remove a rear driveshaft from my T5.1 4motion to allow for wheel bearing replacement. I thought this would be within my DIY capability so I've bought the new bearing and bearing tool but I'm...

Can anyone offer any advice to the cause… I’ve been running Stance+ coilovers for some time and am pretty happy with them to be honest, theyve been wound down to about 70-80mm lower than standard since fitting. As the camper conversion has progressed the rear suspension has settled and become...

Good afternoon all. Hopefully this should be a simple question for those in the know. Since completing a long journey on Thursday, I can hear a rubbing noise coming from what sounds like underneath the front nearside of the van. It's only present with the van under load i.e. it's silent when...

As per heading. Do we know if the T6's are experiencing the same issue with the drive shaft spline wear. My T6 103Kw DSG is showing some backlash that I can not explain. All rubber mountings on engine and gearbox have been replace OEM VW. It is a lot better, but not what I would consider to...

Hi Guys roughly how much for a N/S drive shaft seal replacing? Ta
