i have 5 which are now lying in the shed off a 1.4 mk4 so not sure if they would be any good

but if you need one for a quick fix to get you on the road you can take your pick

what went the inner cv joint

aye it sure was

[tainboy]

I had 2 inners go and one outer.

my last one was the outer

[tainboy]

when I say outer though, I mean the shaft actually snapped just before it entered the outer cv joint - other two were inner bearing failures. Not fun, but hey ho, that's the sacrifice of having shed loads of torque and still get 60+mpg

Nae any sort of Warranty with them? Bit shit after 3 weeks.

Don't do it min. Unless its for a V6

wish i did get 60+ mpg....45 is about the highest i get these days

did your shaft from VW last any longer than the cheaper ones or is it just pot luck?

well aye it came with a 2 year or 24000 mile warranty.....but i had the shaft setting in my Garage for the best part of a year before it got fitted and i dont have the paper work for it so i'll just have to buy a new one!

its wont be a V6 am afraid, but dont worry the next one will still put a smile on my face once its had a few things played with

[tainboy]

Aye the vw one did last longer

Would one from a 150bhp model still fit, surely that should handle the torque better, or are they all the same?
