I suspect it's the CV joint, but could it be something else since it's a Syncro? Also, driving uphill the RPMs shoot up, but the van dosen't go any faster. Is my clutch going out ? Is this related to the clicking or could it be something else since it's a Syncro? I'm on an island in the North Pacific and there are no qualified VW mechanics to advise me. Thanks in advance.
