polo cv joints/driveshafts
« on: November 02, 2010, 01:39:31 pm »
Ive had a look on etka and the part number is different for the g40 cv's and drivehsafts. Once again vw no longer sell these  >:(

Will normal mk3 cv's fit on, just need it to work for now so long term is not an issue.
Its just the n/s short one im after atm

yeah non-g40 ones fit, I'm not convinced there is actually any real difference between g40 and non-g40 ones, they sure as hell look the same.

both original number for g40 and non g40 "superceed" in the non genuine parts , they are dimensionally the same, just maybe g40 originals had a higher quality control
seen it hundreds of times before (i used to work for vw) they have same item but best ones have different partnumber lol
