rodders Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Posted October 17, 2009 thanks for that mirez...& the reason why i didnt do a search is i didnt know what to search for...anyway thats the problem my mate by the way is a vag indi so he told me to bring it down on monday he has done a good few of them thats how he new straight away when i described it to him over the phone,he also told me it was main dealer part & vag do stock them & apparently they have upgraded them for what ever reason,which is now obvious to me anyway...he also told me the parts is about Quote
Mirez Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 also dont know if you know my wife drove it about 4 miles at low speed after the noise appeared now its parked up, do you think it will have damaged I don't know your wife no :D but its highly unlikely to have damaged anything else, the weakness is the joint and thats whats failed. I've not had the problem myself so I can't say whats going to be changed for the Quote
rodders Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Posted October 17, 2009 good one ! never got on to the wife bit...he told me he would replace the full thing incuding the bolts as thats what he gets in the parts from vag...he also replaces the bolts as he told me he has had the bolts sheered of on some he has done in the past & ill get him to check the one thats not gone yet...could this have anything to do with the full clutch & dmf i had fitted last month....at all..

JDHogg Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 You know the more I look at this website, the better it gets !! Had this exact same problem today - pulled away from junction and then bang! Got it towed to my local garage - unfortunately closed now for weekend but hopefully, should be seen to early next week.I'm slightly relieved to hear costs - even though no-one likes to fork out for these things, I had been thinking more zeros. Car had 110K on the clock, so its not exactly new - I'm just putting it down to wear and tear. Also, my car is missing its undertray, so could this have contributed in any way to the wear and tear? Anyone an opinion on the worthiness of getting a new undertray ? how much are they anyway ? I had a look on e-bay and no sign of one there - too big, I guess. I'll try a few breakers and see what comes up. Seems like they're easy to fit, so I'll do it myself. Thanks again to all that have posted on this topic. At least I can give the mechanics a heads-up on Monday. Quote
gregers Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 the under tray is defo required,if you search the forum there are many posts within threads mentioning about lack of undertray resulting in defected steering and the likes.i would get a new 1 asap. Quote
sparky Paul Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 Yep, lack of undertray causing belt slippage and sudden loss of power steering is quite common. They do come up on fleabay occasionally, or it can be worth looking out for sellers breaking a Galaxy, especially those nearby. Failing that, try a scrapper. Quote
JDHogg Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Cool. As I suspected. Many thanks. Will go get one asap (after I've had the drive shaft fixed!). Thanks again.JD Quote
SteveH61 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I've just had exactly the same problem, fortunately it went just outside the local garage. Thanks to all on this forum, they were just about to drop the gearbox and check the clutch when I suggested that it might be a drive shaft problem, lo and behold. Pretty poor on Fords part given that the vehicle has only done 114K SteveH mk2 sharan tdi 03,wife just got home said a noise has just started from the passenger wheel area..got under car no visible signs,started, runs sweet,tried to take of it turnig the wheel sounds like a grinder very loud but seems more like round gearbox area from inside the car,so take of in straight line just like a jumping noise or wobbley wheel which its not.so then when i was trying to reverse it to park goes in to gear but no drive same in all gears. so turned car of then restarted went in gear ok reverse 1st & 2nd so i parked it.got friend on the phone described it he said its some sort of seperate spline or drive shaft from gearbox to clutch area,he said the jumping feel is the spline jumping the grinding is its teeth, or something said it was common on sharan & touran also main dealer part only and about a half an hour job anyone had same issue or do you know what this spline thing is...prefrable before monday when the tow truck arrives to take it to garage...forgot to say had brand new full clutch fitted last month and pedal feels ok...also drove perfect today then all of a sudden...any ideas...
