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.

Gsf the tossers gave the wrong ones (over 2 yrs ago) they gave me a set of drive shafts that are small. So im taking it as they are not for any gti or vr

[boneybradley]

No there only for lower models (1.4-1.9d)

Nice one

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?)
