RWD? Could be a worn Universal Joint.

There are infact number of causes for this. The U-joints are the most common cause but can easily identified by visual inspection and feeling for lash in the drive shaft.

The next cause down the list is the rear diffirential as the gears ware down the lash will incresse causeing sudden "clank" or "clunk" sound as the car goes from neutrual/park to reverse/drive. Next potential cause is transmission related.

Uncommon causes can be a warped or worn out suspention, causeing excessive driveshaft angles.

Why would be vw diesel not go into reverse sometimes?

Before there can be an answer, need to know transmission type; 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic? If its the manual, its the clutch takeup cable. The shifter should have a button or detent to push in order to move it into Reverse. Its most likely loose. If its the automatic, its most likely the brake sensor that must be engaged prior to shifting from Park. Driver must fully engage the foot brake prior to shifting from Park to Reverse and from Drive to Reverse. Most likely replacement of part will fix issue.
