Car parts and drivetrain components for Volkswagen Golf 2.0 FSI 4MOTION. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common symptoms are vibrations felt through the floor or seats, often at specific speeds, as well as strange noises or thumping from beneath the centre of the car.
No, 4MOTION models require dedicated drive shafts with different lengths and spline dimensions to match the four-wheel-drive differentials and suspension setup.
A worn inner CV joint typically causes distinct vibrations or shuddering through the car under acceleration, which subsides as soon as you lift off the throttle.
It has four drive shafts in total: two at the front and two at the rear, distributing power to all four wheels via the 4MOTION system.
It depends on the extent of the damage. We supply both individual CV joints and complete drive shafts; replacing the complete shaft is often easier and more cost-effective if there is extensive wear.
Because four-wheel drive involves more moving drivetrain components, there are more joints vulnerable to dirt and moisture. An intact CV boot is your best defence against expensive driveline failures.
