The drive shafts of the new Golf cars differ in cars with engine power from 48 to 55 kW, namely: Golf cars with engines of 2 and 2.8 liters are provided with shafts in which the gear engagements for the constant velocity joint are 4 mm longer.
In addition, the diameter of the outer constant velocity joint of these shafts is 90 mm. For less powerful engines, with a power of less than 55 kW, this diameter is 81 mm. The same applies to the inner constant velocity joints, the diameter of which is 94 mm for engines with a power of 48 kW, and 100 mm for both other models.
The assembly diagrams of both designs of the considered shafts of the Volkswagen Golf cars are shown. The upper shaft is used together with powerful engines. It would be worth mentioning the vibration damper. It should be removed and installed in accordance with the instructions given in the section "Dismantling and installation of the shock absorber", if the drive shaft needs to be replaced with a new one.
The inner constant velocity joint should not be repaired. If damaged, it should be replaced with a new one.
In models with powerful engines, the diameter of the outer constant velocity joint, as already mentioned, is 100 mm. When ordering, take this value into account.
