Morning one and all, just looking for some advice please, whilst replacing the gearshift coupler on my van yesterday I noticed that two CV boots had split (both on same shaft) so I was wondering has anyone got any thoughts on who supplies the best replacement rubbers? want to get some ordered sharpish so I can get the job done. Oh and is there anything I should be looking for when replacing the boots as I am a 'CV boot virgin' but though I would had a go at changing them myself...."in for a penny in for a pound as they say" Thanks Dave
i bought these. http://www.coolairvw.co.uk/Item/Sho...149/T2_68-79_-P-_T25_80-91_CV_Joint_Boot.html theres every chance that any make could be pants, so this was just as good a buy as any out there i think. They will need doing again, probably in 3 years or 4 not sure, but for £20 odd quid, i probably wont mind it.
Hi Dave, I've tried various makes over the years and none have lasted very long but last year I had genuine vw ones from vwheritage and these are still ok. The job is quite straightforward but very messy with the molybdenum grease that you have to clean off to get at the circlip holding on the cv joint which you need to remove, although you only need to take one off to do both ends. Nice quick delivery from vwheritage as well Good luck Nick.
We have some genuine German ones: https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/bay...bolts-n-o-s/?crumbStartPage=1&crumbStartRow=1 They are the best available, I have bought a set of 4 and stashed them as when they are gone they are gone. https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/bay...-and-grease/?crumbStartPage=1&crumbStartRow=1
Go for the original ones from VWH....more expensive but believe me there worth every penny , the differance in quality to repro is massive .
