As far as im aware all the driveshafts are the same on the 5 stud vehicles and only differ on the 4 stud models eg. 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, TDI, Cabrio.

Or a mk2 ?
GSF and Ecp have sold me drive train, braking and engine parts for mk2's as Mk3 parts.
Very annoying

That's why I started oemandmore.co.uk (and as nobody cared for the Mk3 model!), I am adding parts all the time and can supply nearly a full car now! (anyone like airfix models but full sized?)

Well there isn't many people who have taken the chance to put the Mk3 at the front of a business (It different to when I trained as one but I'm enjoying it, I just wish people wouldn't use gsf or ecp so much!  :rolleyes:)
