Hi all,
When turning left (full lock) it feels like the transmission is binding up on the n/s front, I’m getting a slight vibration and a feeling of the wheel wanting to slip. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I think it is normal on 4wd, but I stand corrected if not. It's just the outer wheel wants to turn faster compared to the rest of wheels that are all engaged at all times.
In 2wd, the diff takes the difference, but in 4wd it's more complicated how the difference of wheel speeds is distributed.

Get the front diff oil changed, it wears and causes this, there is a VAG TPI about it.

I was thinking CV joint…..
Equally it’s never had the diff oils changing. It had the customary transmission service at 48k, but nothing else. It’s currently on 52k.
I will change the fluids and see how that affects things.🤞🏻🤞🏻
