Driveshaft Compatibility...

[madspikes 41 1 Cars]

I'm looking to replace the drivers side drive shaft as the intermediate bearing is toast... and the CV boots are both shot and wondering if this is the same as the 1.9 GTI shafts:

The 1.6's are different are they not?

yup, less splines and smaller diameter through the hub drive flange, same as 1.6 IIRC.

 

intermediate bearings are pretty cheap if you just look for the specific industry std size rather than for that specific application, if the joints are still good then worth fitting a couple of decent boots.

Nearly all of the supposed "new" or "recon" driveshafts I have had recently have been utter garbage. For that reason if your shaft has good joints i.e. no play in them, then I would definitely repair what you have got with a pair of boots and a bearing.

Thanks guys. I think I'll just rebuild me existing shafts... Ok time for getting that bearing off then!

Im looking at some new shafts for my 1.9 at the moment, but I am not sure what to buy as I cant find one thats at a sensible price and has a good reccomendation.

 

The Q-Drive ones at ECP look cheap, but are probably pure gash?

[Anthony 1,000]

No experience of their shafts, but other Q-Drive items are pretty poor in my experience..

 

As per the other thread discussing driveshafts at the moment, it looks like AMK are a reasonable bet for recon items - Motaquip, Unipart and some other factors should be able to get them.

Cheesegrater has been using q-drive shafts with no issues.

Shaftec on the other hand is a gamble. My 309 shaft doesn't run true.

I'm just rebuilding mine. The bearing wasnt too hard to get off.

The bearing is an 6006 2RS, I get SKF ones from Brammer for £5 each, dead simple to replace takes less than 15mins.

Thanks for that, but I have already got an 6006 on order! :-)

I just want to make sure i got this right :

1.6 drive shafts are different from 1.9 by the nut size ? 30 vs 35 mm?

Peugeot 1.4/1.1 are the SAME AS 1.6 ?

So when going to a replacement store in my area , just to ask for peugeot 205 1.4 drive shaft?

[welshpug 1,626]

on your first question, yes the CV joint end of the shaft is arranged in that way.

 

however the gearbox end of 1.6 and 1.9 are the same splines, NOT TU engines (1.4 1.3 1.1)

[omri617 18]

What about compatibility to other models ? the 1.6 is the same as base models?

[welshpug 1,626]

a diesel or a 1.6 SPI yes.

[omri617 18]

Citreon C15 ?

[welshpug 1,626]

good lateral thinking, part numbers are the same if you look at the diesel models.

Thanks friend!
