MKIV Golf Inner CV Joint
« on: 13 September 2010, 11:44 »
Quick question guys,

My inner CV Joint has gone and JORDYGTI has sent me a new one, but the inner joint is different.

He says it will fit but I can't see how.  Am I being thick (Which has been known)??  :laugh:

Here's a picture of two driveshafts (Not mine).

The one that is on my car is like the one on the left, and the one he's sent is like the one on the right.



Will they interchange?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Sorry, just better add, the inner joint has gone on my car and Jordy has sent me a complete shaft!  Not just a joint sorry!  :rolleyes:

the one on the left looks like a drivers side driveshaft and the other passenger side. Drivers side is normally thicker.

Hi guys,

The one he's sent is the right length, but the mounting point to the gearbox is different!  It's the one on the right not the one on the left like my car and the fella above who posted his car with the box out!

Cheers

How?  The bolts are different!
I guess I'd have to change the mounting flange from the gearbox as well?

I guess so, the engine has been changed and the box at some point but it looks like the ones posted above!
I'm so gutted! It's only a cv joint and I've bought a driveshaft that I'm told will fit but no one will tell me how to make it fit and Jordy isn't talking to me either now! Hope I haven't upset him?
