Car parts and drivetrain components for Audi A3 Saloon 35 Tfsi. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common signs are vibrations under acceleration or noises when cornering. If vibrations are felt throughout the car when accelerating, the drive shaft or the inner CV joint is often the culprit.
The outer CV joint is located by the wheel and allows for steering; it often makes a clicking noise when turning if worn. The inner joint sits by the gearbox and accommodates suspension travel; it usually causes vibrations during acceleration.
Yes, if you catch the damage early before dirt has entered the joint, replacing just the CV boot and repacking it with fresh grease may suffice. If the joint has already started making noise, the complete CV joint or drive shaft must be replaced.
Usually not. Drive shafts often differ in length and mounting depending on the gearbox type. Always select your specific make, model and engine to get the correct version for your 35 Tfsi.
A clicking noise at full steering lock is a classic symptom of a worn outer CV joint. This is usually caused by grease leaking out or dirt penetrating through a damaged CV boot.
