Car parts and drivetrain components for Volkswagen Touran.
The most common symptoms are vibrations through the vehicle when accelerating or persistent noises from underneath. If the vibrations stop as soon as you let off the throttle, a worn inner CV joint or the drive shaft itself is often to blame.
The outer CV joint is located by the wheel and typically emits a clicking or knocking noise when turning if worn. The inner constant velocity joint sits at the gearbox and usually causes chassis vibrations under acceleration.
No, there are often differences in both length and mounting between manual and automatic (DSG) gearboxes. Always select your car's make, model and engine to find the correct version for your vehicle.
Only models equipped with 4Motion all-wheel drive have a propeller shaft. Most standard Touran models are front-wheel drive and therefore do not have a prop shaft.
The boot keeps lubricating grease inside and road dirt out. If it splits, the CV joint is quickly ruined by grit and water, leading to a far more expensive repair than simply replacing the CV boot.
Yes, on many Touran models the ABS ring is mounted directly onto the outer CV joint. If the ring cracks or corrodes, the ABS sensor receives incorrect signals, triggering the warning light on the dashboard.
