Mate had a J&R one and it didnt last.Im running a AMK one now (or was) and it was holding up fine, had minimal play in it which is expected but held up to 275lbft torque well enough under the abuse it got!
Vw charge mega bucks. If you can wait a couple days try j&r drive shafts on eBay. A few of us on here run them with no problems
