Subject:      Help with LÖBRO CV Boot part number / Syncro 16
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all,

My apologies to those of you on multiuple Lists for the crosspost. I was
looking to fix my CV boots and wondered if anyone knows how to break down
the LÖBRO part numbers. The out CV boot that John Wessels (SyncroMog
builder) took out of my Syncro 16 many years ago had the following markings:
 LÖBRO 2 152 15 75 00 029

Is that the correct part number? John found out that the Audi 200/5000 turbo
boots fit the larger Syncro 16 outer CV's. Unfortunately, they do not appear
to be as durable in the Syncro. The boot he took out is the rigid nylon type
vs. the Audi soft rubber type. I may resort to using Audi boots again just
to get my Syncro moving sooner than it takes to order parts from Europe.

I would like to be able to ask for the right part number other than just
asking for Syncro 16 boots. I've always found that saying "Syncro 16" is
just as bad as asking for a parts using a Porsche part number vs. asking for
the exact same part with the VW part number. The difference in names seems
to multiply the price geometrically.


Thanks in advance,

BenT
