Frequently Asked Questions about the Drivetrain for Audi V8 – Power Transmission Spare Parts
What are the most common signs of a worn inner CV joint on an Audi V8?
The most common symptom is vibration through the bodywork during acceleration. Unlike outer CV joints, which click when cornering, inner joints are usually noticed when the engine is under load in a straight line.
How do I find the correct inner CV joint for my Audi V8?
The easiest way is to filter by your car's make, model and engine. Because the Audi V8 uses specific parts for its quattro system, it is vital to check that the component is designed for your exact model year and engine variant.
Do I need to replace the entire drive shaft if only the CV joint is damaged?
No, on the Audi V8 you can often replace just the inner CV joint. This is a cost-effective solution, provided that the drive shaft itself is not bent or damaged.
Why is the CV boot so vital for the drivetrain's service life?
The CV boot protects the CV joint from dirt, water and road grit while keeping the lubricating grease in place. A split boot quickly leads to premature joint wear and failure.
Is the drivetrain on the Audi V8 different from that on the Audi 100 or 200?
Yes, the Audi V8 has a unique drivetrain adapted to its larger engine and heavier vehicle weight. You should never assume that parts from other models will fit without verifying compatibility first.
What type of grease should be used when replacing a CV joint?
When replacing a CV joint, a dedicated molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) grease must be used. This is normally included in our complete kits to ensure optimal lubrication and a long service life.
