Has any one had this problem?

Hi, just thought I would ask if anyone with a n/a or a TT ever had a problem with the driver side CV joint as I have a real bad clicking sound coming from the rear end and it only happens on left hand down, as at first some one suggested that it was the diff but I think thats wrong as its clicking and not a rumbling noise.

Did you find out what this was?

It was a "bad thread title" and it caused a lack of responses

My diff made a click but it also felt stuck when it made the click for a sec like you wer pulled from behind

I had this for a few months, a ticking noise that increases frequency with speed, or with the window close - a rubbing/humming sound; overhauled the brakes, checked all the suspension bolt torques etc...

 

Turned out to be the driver side inner CV. It was fecked basically, I removed a couple of the allen bolts which secure it to the LSD, and they were caked in grease - a good sign that the CV is shagged

 

I managed to acquire a complete hub/driveshaft assembly from another member and replaced the lot, no more noises!

 

Take a couple of the allen bolts out and see if theyre all greasy, its more than likely what your problem is

 

If you do go down the route of replacing the whole assembly, as I did; good luck with breaking the bottom tie rod ball joint - it took 2 hammers, 1 scaffold pole, and 3 large men to split
