Hi guys, I've taken my 2007 Golf V 2.0 FSI to the shop to get the timing belt + water pump replaced.

Then I realised that the rego was due for renewal soon so I asked him to also do a pink slip.
He just messaged me that both side inner CV boot rip leaking.
And he's suggesting...

Good evening all, hope you are well.
I've resorted to creating a profile and asking here because I'm having almost zero luck elsewhere.
I've just purchased my second Bora 4motion and this one came with a destroyed rear tail shaft joint / coupler.
After hours of searching I have come...

My Mark V GTI has just ticked over 100000km. A few months ago my regular mechanic said the boot needed replacing but best to replace the entire drive shaft due to the time it takes to remove and replace it. Cost: $575 parts and labour. Third party drive shaft I imagine.

Another mechanic...

I've come to grief.
Tried to do my control arm bushes. On the first side, one was OK but with the press I have I simply could not insert the other. Had it done by a local, helpful garage.

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if you can replace the balance shaft hex key in situ. I've droped the sump and it seems all I need to to is remove the circlip, pull the old hex key and insert the new one with a new circlip. There seems to be enough room and it saves alot of messing about....

It didn't take long before my better half broke one side of the cupholder - see photo attached. Any chance at rescue? Any tips for me before I try and force that metal shaft back into place and break it properly in the process?

Thanks! Sam...

Currently travelling around Australia and we have come down with some bad luck. RHS drive shaft has completely worn down where the stub axle connects. So the engine starts fine, I can change gears but when accelerating it gives off a deafening screech from the stub axle spinning in the shaft and not...

Checked for loose wheel nuts suspension and brake componenets and nothing . Jacked up the...

So my front drive shafts are due for some attention split boots and contamination. Sounds like a few joints may need to be replaced 165k on the clock.

Should I rebuild the shafts with new joints, have them serviced by a drive shaft shop or look to aftermarket replacements?

Hi all,

I want to remove the FL drive shaft so I can put on a new CV joint.

My Q is: as I'm rotating the drive shaft to get access to the gearbox end bolts, being a 4Motion, can the back wheels be left on the ground so it can rotate??? I'm unsure as never done the on a AWD...

I was driving my car and the odometer stopped working. It's stuck on 65999.9. I know that the odometer gear lights to break or slide off the shaft. Is there anyone out there that can repair them? Anyone know where to get the odometer gears?Thanks!
