Frequently asked questions about drivetrain parts for Volkswagen Transporter T5
How do I know if my Volkswagen Transporter T5 needs a new drive shaft?
Common signs include severe vibrations under acceleration or knocking noises when driving in a straight line. If the vibrations disappear when you lift off the accelerator, it is often the inner CV joint or the complete drive shaft that is worn.
What is the difference between an inner and outer CV joint on a T5?
The outer CV joint is located by the wheel and accommodates steering; when worn, it typically produces a clicking noise when cornering. The inner CV joint sits at the gearbox and usually causes vibrations through the chassis under load.
Do all propeller shafts fit all T5 4MOTION models?
No, propeller shafts vary depending on the wheelbase (short or long) and the gearbox type. Always select your vehicle's make, model and engine to ensure you get the correct length and specification for your specific van.
Why does my T5 vibrate even though I have changed the tyres?
If vibrations persist after changing the tyres, the fault often lies in the drivetrain. Typical causes include an imbalanced prop shaft, a worn centre bearing, or play developing in an inner CV joint.
Can I replace just the CV boot if it is split?
Yes, if you catch a split boot early before dirt and moisture have damaged the joint itself, replacing the CV boot and repacking it with fresh grease may suffice. If the joint has already started making noises, the entire joint must be replaced.
How many drive shafts are available for the Volkswagen Transporter T5?
We stock over 90 different drive shaft variants to cover all engine, gearbox, and model year combinations for the T5.
Is it difficult to replace the centre bearing on a T5?
It requires removing the propeller shaft and, in some cases, using a press tool. It is an essential job to eliminate resonant droning and vibrations on four-wheel-drive models.
