Subject:      Syncro CV Madness..

Hi Everyone. I made a few enquiries regarding CV boots and joints for a 1990 Syncro, and this is what I have to report;

First off, all $$ are in CDN.

CV-JOINTS front axle inner $167.88 each front axle outer $101.67 each rear axle $208.90 each all four joints same price.

CV-BOOTS

front axle inner $167.88 each front axle outer $86.39 each

rear axle $39.85 each all four boots same price

CV-JOINT REPACKING

I also enquired how much it costs to get the CV-Joints repacked. They (VW) say 2.8 hours labour per axle. A syncro has 4 axles. The labour rate is $75/hr, and then there are steel bands, and extra bits & pieces to do the job along with grease, etc. Total bill for all four axles is $820 labour, plus bits.... so $900 would be the bill.

Would this be worth to do or let the pieces fail and replace as you go? Any advice would be appreciated. So far with 114000 km (around 70000 miles) there have been no problems with the joints on my van, and they have never been opened.

TIA

Harry. ---------------------------------------------------------
