thanks for the info. did you add the RDL to your 2009 tdi or was it factory option? i see the diff's you referenced were the same part number i had found using a VW parts reference. to my knowledge no RDL on 2009 tdi's in Canada. There is the odd V6 gas Touareg with RDL in Canada but by my research it is not the diff required for an 2009 v6 tdi.
p.s. my first trip to SA was in Feb 2017- beautiful country- loved Capetown and Table Mountain ! Saw a couple of Touareg V8 tdi's in SA- not available here in Canada- nor is the Amarok.
yeah maybe not. last time out i got pulled out by a 4Runner with a locking rear diff so its stuck in my memory. would appear no one has done a retro fit of a locking rear diff on a Touareg to date.
no doubt other factors contributed: deep snow, my michelin ice tires, and the driver (me- a complete novice). 4Runner had Nitto Terra Grapplers.
