Noise above 40mph and rattle turn corners
Discussion
Hi all,
My Passat B6 TDI has yet another problem!!!
When I'm accelerating hard I get a noise (a sort of drone rattle on and off not constant).
This drops off when I let off the revs or touch the clutch.
And now when I turn at slower speeds I get a rattle. The same noise can be made at slower speeds by dabbing the throttle on and off.
Any Ideas?
I've got a sort of idea but wanted a fresh mind.

If it crackles when you pull away on full lock, its the outer C.V joint.
If you have alot of vibration its usually the inner triple roller joint.
If you have both its cheaper and easier to replace the drive shaft.
you should be able to detect a tight spot when rotating the wheel if the inner joint is gone, but the only way to tell the C.V joint is the crackle.
