What could be causing a transmission fault on my 2005 Volkswagen Touareg?
I have a 2005 Volkswagen Touareg 2.5TDI with 30,000 miles, which has developed a transmission fault. Moving slowly up a gradient, the transmission seems to wind up with a loud clicking from near-side rear. Volskwagen diagnostic checks reveal nothing and Volkswagen says it has had no reports of this fault. Possible centre diff problem? I would appreciate your advice.

The most likely reason is a difference in circumference between the front and rear tyres that the automatic AWD system interprets as slippage.

Luxurious, safe, accomplished 4x4. Comfortable on road, very capable off it. V10 TDI is astonishing, 2.5 TDI and 3.0 TDI the sensible choices.
