Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain for Volkswagen Golf TDI
How do I tell if a CV joint is failing on my Golf TDI?
The most common sign is a rhythmic clicking or knocking noise when accelerating on full steering lock.
Why does the drivetrain wear faster on a TDI?
Diesel engines generate higher torque at low revs, which places greater strain on the CV joints and drive shafts than petrol engines.
Is it difficult to replace an outer CV joint myself?
It requires specific tools and mechanical know-how, but for a competent DIY mechanic it is a manageable job.
What is included in a CV joint kit?
A kit typically includes the joint itself, a new CV boot, grease, clamps and fitting accessories such as a bolt or nut.
Can I drive with a split CV boot?
No, this is not recommended. Dirt quickly destroys the internal bearing surfaces of the CV joint once the protective boot is compromised.
How does the fitment guarantee work?
When you select your car's make, model and engine variant and our team confirms the part, we guarantee that it will technically fit your vehicle.
