Outer CV joints for Audi Q2 35 TDI Quattro
The Audi Q2 35 TDI Quattro is a car that combines punchy diesel performance with an advanced four-wheel drive system. For this technology to operate at its best, every component across the drivetrain must be in first-rate condition. The outer CV joint is a critical link exposed to substantial loads, particularly under acceleration and sharp cornering when the torque from the 35 TDI engine is transferred directly to the wheels. Selecting a spare part manufactured to exact specifications is vital to preserve the car's handling and safety. We provide parts engineered to satisfy the rigorous demands of a modern Audi Q2 35 TDI Quattro.
When ordering from us, you can rest assured that the component matches your vehicle's specific setup. Because the Quattro system distributes power across all four wheels, stringent requirements are placed on material choices and production tolerances in every constant velocity joint. An underspecified or incorrect component can result in premature wear and potentially damage other transmission parts. Our focus is on delivering parts that ensure long service life and an exact fit from day one.
What does the outer CV joint do on the Audi Q2 35 TDI Quattro?
The primary task of the outer CV joint on your Audi Q2 35 TDI Quattro is transferring torque from the drive shaft to the front wheels. What makes the outer joint unique is its ability to operate smoothly at wide working angles. This articulation is necessary because the front wheels must both steer and move vertically with the suspension. The unit operates on the constant velocity principle, meaning it maintains a uniform rotational speed irrespective of the steering angle, eliminating driveline vibrations and jerky delivery.
On a vehicle equipped with Quattro all-wheel drive, seamless interaction between the various CV joints is paramount. The outer joint must handle the immediate torque delivery of the diesel engine whilst retaining full angular flexibility. Inside the joint, precision-ground steel balls and raceways are lubricated by a dedicated high-pressure grease. When the assembly functions properly, you experience nothing behind the wheel other than smooth, dependable power delivery, whether driving along motorways or navigating twisty B-roads.
Common symptoms of wear
Several distinct warning signs indicate that an outer CV joint on your Audi is failing. The most classic symptom is a rhythmic clicking or knocking noise that emerges when cornering sharply at low speeds, such as during parking manoeuvres. If the noise subsides as the wheels straighten up, it is an almost certain indicator that the balls inside the outer joint have worn depressions into their tracks. You should also watch out for vibrations through the steering wheel under load, which often signal imbalance caused by a worn joint.
Another vital item to inspect is the CV boot. Spotting grease flung across the inside of the wheel rim or over the suspension indicates that the boot has split. Once lubricant escapes, road dirt, grit and water penetrate the joint, acting as an abrasive paste that ruins internal components in very short order. Catching a split boot early can often save you the expense of replacing the complete CV joint, but once clicking noises have developed, fitting a complete new joint is the only reliable fix.
How to choose the correct outer CV joint
Identifying the correct outer CV joint for your Audi Q2 35 TDI Quattro demands precision. Technical variations often exist depending on the vehicle's chassis number, gearbox type and exact production date. The most critical measurement is the spline count—the number of teeth machined onto the shaft interfaces. You need to know the tooth count on the outer stub that enters the wheel hub, as well as the internal spline count where it joins the drive shaft. Furthermore, the oil seal collar diameter can differ between revisions.
To ensure you order the right part with complete peace of mind, simply select your car's make, model and engine variant in our store. This filters our catalogue down to components that are technically compatible with your specific vehicle. When your new CV joint arrives from us, it is supplied as a comprehensive kit including the joint itself, a new CV boot, premium grease, circlips and the central hub bolt. Replacing all these components together is essential for an enduring, reliable repair.
Related parts to inspect
We also recommend checking these exact pages for the same vehicle when working on the outer CV joint:
When one drivetrain component exhibits wear, adjacent parts on the same car often warrant a thorough inspection too. By checking these exact pages for the Audi Q2 35 TDI Quattro, it becomes much easier to determine whether the fault lies strictly with the outer CV joint or another neighbouring transmission component.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and unusual noises can travel across multiple components within the same drivetrain. A quick check across related categories reduces the risk of replacing one correct part while overlooking an adjacent component that contributes to the very same issue.

Frequently asked questions about outer CV joints for Audi Q2 35 TDI Quattro
What are the most common symptoms of a worn outer CV joint on an Audi Q2?
The most common sign is a clicking or knocking noise heard when turning, especially when accelerating at low speeds. You might also notice vibrations in the steering wheel or see grease splattered on the inside of the wheel if the CV boot has split.
Do all Audi Q2 CV joints fit my 35 TDI Quattro?
No, there are differences depending on the engine variant, gearbox, and whether the car has Quattro all-wheel drive. It is therefore vital to select your exact make, model and engine to find the correct part with the right tooth count.
Are the CV boot and grease included when I buy an outer CV joint from you?
Yes, our outer CV joints are supplied as complete fitting kits. This means you receive the joint, a tailored CV boot, specialist grease, clips, and any necessary mounting bolts or nuts.
Can I replace just the CV boot if the joint isn't making noise?
Yes, if you catch a split boot early before dirt has entered and damaged the joint, replacing just the CV boot and repacking it with fresh grease may be sufficient. This is a preventative measure that saves money.
How quickly will I receive a CV joint for my Audi?
We strive to process orders as quickly as possible and dispatch rapidly across the EU for orders placed on working days, getting your Audi Q2 35 TDI Quattro back on the road without delay.
What is the difference between an inner and an outer CV joint?
The outer CV joint sits at the wheel and accommodates steering angles, whilst the inner joint sits at the gearbox and mainly accommodates suspension movement. They produce different symptoms when worn: outer joints click when cornering, whereas inner joints cause vibrations during acceleration.
