Car parts and drivetrain components for Volkswagen Passat 2.3 VR5 Syncro. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common signs are vibrations through the car under acceleration or noticeable clunking and knocking noises from underneath. If you spot a split CV boot where grease has escaped, there is a high risk that the shaft or joint needs replacing.
Often not. Syncro models typically feature unique dimensions and mountings to handle the four-wheel-drive system. Always select your car's exact make, model and engine variant to ensure the correct fitment.
Our CV joint kits are supplied complete with the joint itself, a vehicle-specific CV boot, high-grade grease, circlips and all the necessary clamps for a professional installation.
A very common fault is a cracked or heavily corroded ABS ring on the drive shaft, preventing the wheel speed sensor from reading a clean signal. Replacing the ABS ring usually resolves the issue.
It requires some mechanical experience and the correct tools, as the drive shaft usually needs to be unbolted and removed from the gearbox. For a competent DIY mechanic, it is a fully manageable task.
We offer fast dispatch and delivery for most of our product range, ensuring you receive your parts promptly so you can get your Passat back on the road.
