Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Buy the CVs seperately, and fit them to your driveshafts.

        Good advice. I have fitted a outer CV joint, Lobro [OEM brand] in the past. I think I bought it from Imparts
        for around $140. Some of the aftermarket complete assemblies must be inferior. There was a guy on the Vortex Forum,
        probably in the USA, that wanted to buy any used driveshafts that owners had discarded saying the mainshaft wasn't up to standard on some aftermarket brands.
        Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

          The VW shafts are hollow in the middle whereas the aftermarket ones are solid round steel shafts, affecting performance. Also many would be inferior quality, made in China.
