Inner CV joints for Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo
The Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo is an iconic model that demands proper maintenance to retain its reliability and comfort. The inner CV joint is a critical drivetrain component that is often overshadowed by the outer joint, even though its function is just as essential. Here at CVJoint24, you will find specially selected components tailored technically to this exact engine variant. By selecting your vehicle's make, model and engine in our store, you can quickly identify the exact part that fits your car, saving both time and money during repairs. We focus on quality and precision to ensure your Audi continues to run smoothly for many thousands of kilometres to come.
What does an inner CV joint do on the Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo?
The inner CV joint on an Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo is fitted closest to the gearbox and features a different technical construction compared to the outer joint. Whilst the outer joint primarily manages steering angles, the primary role of the inner joint is to accommodate changes in drive shaft length as the vehicle's suspension moves up and down. This design is often referred to as a plunging joint. For a turbodiesel such as the Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo, it is particularly vital that this component works flawlessly, as the engine's torque places significant strain on the entire drivetrain. A properly functioning constant velocity joint minimises friction and ensures power from the engine reaches the wheels without energy loss or intrusive mechanical noises.
Common signs of wear
Wear on the inner CV joint often shows itself in ways that can be difficult to diagnose unless you know what to look for. One of the most prominent signs is vibration throughout the car during acceleration, particularly at lower speeds or when the engine is under heavy load uphill. Unlike the outer joint, which typically produces a clicking sound on full steering lock, a worn inner joint can cause a dull clunking sound or shuddering felt through the chassis rather than the steering wheel. If the boot has split, grease can escape, causing the joint to run dry and wear out prematurely. It is therefore vital to inspect the CV boots on your Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo regularly to prevent costly consequential damage.
How to choose the correct inner CV joint
Choosing the correct inner CV joint for an Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo requires accuracy and technical verification. Because variations can occur depending on the production year and the specific gearbox type fitted at the factory, relying solely on the model name is not always enough. You often need to check the number of splines—the teeth—both on the inside and outside of the joint, as well as its outer diameter. The most reliable method is to select your exact vehicle specifications in our store. We have collated all the necessary technical data so you can locate the right part for your Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo without guesswork. Should you remain unsure, our expertise is on hand to help guide you through the technical specifications.
Related parts to check

When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, nearby parts on the same car often require inspection as well. By comparing these exact pages for the Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo, it becomes easier to determine whether the issue lies specifically with the inner CV joint or with an adjacent part of the power transmission.
This is especially relevant on models where vibrations, play and noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the correct component type while overlooking a neighbouring part that causes the same symptoms.
By attending to several related components at the same time, you can secure long-lasting and dependable performance without having to carry out the same dismantling work twice.

Frequently asked questions about inner CV joints for Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo
How do I know if the inner CV joint is worn on my Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo?
The most common symptoms are body vibrations during acceleration and under load, along with an occasional dull thudding sound from the drivetrain.
Can I replace just the inner CV joint, or do I have to replace the whole drive shaft?
On the Audi 100 2.0 D Turbo, you can easily replace just the inner CV joint, which is a far more cost-effective solution than replacing the complete shaft.
Do all inner CV joints from an Audi 100 fit my 2.0 D Turbo?
No, there are differences depending on engine option and gearbox. It is important to check the spline count and diameter, or select your exact vehicle specifications on cvjoint24.com.
Are the CV boot and grease included when I buy an inner CV joint from you?
Yes, our inner CV joints are supplied as complete fitting kits including a CV boot, specialised grease and all necessary mounting hardware.
Why is the car vibrating even though I recently replaced the outer CV joint?
Vibrations during acceleration are usually caused by a worn inner CV joint, whereas the outer joint primarily produces clicking noises when cornering.
