vw touareg transmission 3.2 v6 53 reg

Posted by Phil Madeira on March 1, 2008, 8:32 am

Anyone come across problems relating to transmissions on these vehicles , customer complained that the car felt like it had a flat tyre, on further investigations we have found the propshaft centre bearing to be destroyed!
Do these cars run in four wheel drive all the time ? no fault codes present using autodiagnos or vag-com, customer has never used the 4x4 system on it or been off road, appreciate any help, we,re wondering what has caused it to go, car has only done 30,000 miles .Read a previous post saying these cars had transfer box issues?
many thanks, Phil.

Replaced propshaft , centre bearing not available on its own , new prop cost £600.00. Tech at vw reckons they have changed quite a few, Regards and thanks, Phil.
