Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain for Volkswagen Transporter T2 1.6
How do I know if my Volkswagen Transporter T2 1.6 needs a new drive shaft?
The most common signs are vibrations under acceleration, clicking noises under load, or visible damage to the shaft. If the CV boot has been split for some time, there is a high risk that the shaft itself or the joint has also been damaged.
Do all drive shafts fit every T2 model?
No, there are variations depending on model year and engine options. For the 1.6 model, it is vital to check the splines and overall length. Always select your specific make, model and engine on cvjoint24.com to ensure you receive the correct version.
What is the difference between inner and outer CV joints on a T2?
On a T2, both joints sit on the rear drive shafts. The inner joint connects towards the gearbox and the outer joint towards the wheel. Inner CV joints often wear in a way that causes vibrations, whilst outer joints more commonly produce noticeable noises.
Can I replace just the CV boot on my Transporter T2 1.6?
Yes, if you catch a split boot early before dirt and grit have ruined the joint, you can replace just the CV boot. This is an effective preventative measure that significantly extends the lifespan of your drivetrain.
Why is using the correct grease so important for CV joints?
CV joints operate under high pressure and heat. A dedicated molybdenum disulphide grease is required to minimise friction and wear. When you buy a CV joint or boot kit from us, the correct type of grease is always included.
Do you offer a fitment guarantee on parts for the Volkswagen Transporter T2 1.6?
Yes, we provide a fitment guarantee when you select your vehicle's make, model and engine. This gives you complete peace of mind that the parts you order are engineered specifically for your car.
