Ok,so wrong section i know.but

Inner CV boot needed changing on my MK2 Jetta,so went down to CES last week and it took them all week to get hold of one,get it today and...well...it wont fit. Simple as that. The metal plate that goes onto the joint its self is waaayy to small,and i mean,tooo small. Even tried turning the joint the wrong way round so the lip of the join that sits in the gearbox cup was the wrong way round,but the boot plate still wouldn't go on,and the the joint wouldn't sit in the cup (D'oh)

So i'm now confused,as i assume CV boots come in but a few diameters,or am i just assuming a silly thing here?

I'm gonna give em hell over the phone tomorrow after taking all week to find me the wrong part!

I may just buy a new CV join that comes with a boot to save the hassle...

anyone else had this issue before?

mart you get 90mm ones an 100mm ones. gti are 100mm.

if your car wasnt gti but your engine an box are would explain why ces gave you wrong parts goin off your reg number??

you need 100mm ones if the one you've got is too small

god dammit,never thought of that!

fuuucking hell,no wonder it didnt god dam fit!
cheers dude,your a saviour!
now...to tackle that problem with them tomorrow haha

100mm CV joint kit+boot orderd

he nearly gave me the 93MM kit,then asked"what size"

good man!

Well
CES strike again

it urns out the CV boot i was given was NOT 93MM,it was infact 90MM

so the 100MM CV joint+boot i orderd was too big for the 93MM flange...yaaay
So tomorrow i'll be ordering a 93MM cv joint+boot

so HOPEFULLY i'll be on the road..fingers fuuuuuken crossed!
