Frequently asked questions about drivetrain parts for Audi 80 1.8
How do I know if I need to replace the entire drive shaft or just a joint on my Audi 80 1.8?
If only the outer joint is clicking when turning, it is often sufficient to replace just that joint. However, if you experience vibrations from the inner joint and the boots are split in both places, a complete drive shaft is often more cost-effective and easier to fit.
Do all CV joints fit the Audi 80 1.8 regardless of model year?
No, there can be differences in the spline count and whether the car is fitted with ABS or not. Always select your exact make, model and engine variant in our search tool to ensure you get a part with the correct specifications for your specific model year.
What are the most common symptoms of a failing inner CV joint on an Audi 80 1.8?
The most common symptoms are vibrations throughout the car under acceleration, which often disappear when you lift off the throttle. It can also feel like a wheel imbalance that cannot be resolved by balancing the tyres.
Why is there a clicking noise when I turn in my Audi 80?
This is a classic symptom of a worn outer CV joint. The wear is usually caused by a damaged CV boot allowing grease to leak out and dirt to enter the moving components of the joint.
Are the boot and grease included when I buy a CV joint from you?
Yes, when you purchase a CV joint for an Audi 80 1.8 from us, it is supplied as a complete kit including the joint, CV boot, grease, clamps and necessary hardware.
Can I replace the CV joint myself on my Audi 80 1.8?
Yes, it is entirely possible for a competent DIY mechanic equipped with the right tools. However, it requires undoing the central hub bolt and dismantling parts of the suspension to withdraw the shaft.
