NeilGTi85 5 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Hello all, Got my MOT at the end of the month and my CV's need doing and I was told it was easier to just change the whole shaft. My question is, as I have the 306 GTi6 brake set-up on the front I thought you needed 1.9 hubs = 1.9 shafts??......but as I have a 1.6 box I'm abit confused as to what shafts I need Cheers Neil Edited September 10, 2008 by NeilGTi85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24seven 104 Posted September 10, 2008 The 1.9 and 1.6 shafts are the same at the gearbox end, but are different at the hub end. you need 1.9 shafts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taylorspug 7 Posted September 10, 2008 Dont get them from VKM Neil, me and others have had no end of problems with shafts from there on lowered cars, they are too short for some reason. Euro Car Parts ones on mine, they have survived two engines, full throttle launches the lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Dan, will give you a call soon about fitting some parts Neil Edit - are the CV joints part of the shaft?? Or do I have to order them seperately?

taylorspug 7 Posted September 10, 2008 No problem mate. They are seperate in that you can get them off, but a shaft will come complete with the joints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
