What you’re referring to is, the stability control (ESP) his has been discussed many times on here before.

Going from memory, I’m sure my old 08 plate diesel vrs was cast metal. I certainly don’t remember any alloy parts.

The Diesel vrs will spin up cheap tyres at every opportunity, even in the dry. I always run Michelin premacy’s and even had the sports once, the car could still spin up with they tyres, if you got a bit excited on the rare opportunity that you had no wife or kids in the car.

Are you fitting new callipers or ones from a breakers. Have you greased the runners the callipers sits on from the mounting bracket.

Personally I would stay away from the vw’s vans. Overrated and over valued. For the money you want to spend I’d stick with something from PSA OR Renault. Giving the fact it’s going to france and potentially being sold there and spares are not an issue.

Jack the car up and and get on axle stands, compare the coils. If there both the same visually with the same amount of coil, ones probably fatigued and done. Change them in pairs, never single, you’ll just case the same issue but reverse if you do. You can download Haynes manuals now.

This could still well be driveshafts. Even if they are new, they are all re-con units theses days and a lot of them out there for sale are junk. I previously worked in the motor parts sector for a long time and come across some bad re-con companies, some so bad it was unbelievable. The 2 most reliable brands back then were AMK and GKN. That was along time ago and even brands I had every confidence in then, I wouldn’t recommend to an enemy these days.
