I bet your car has no Catalytic Converter? The 108 flange was not delivered in the US. So 98% of the list members are not concerned, only confused.
The 100 mm axle flanges were delivered with the following tranny code letters: 6PA, 6ZA, AAN, AHF, AKG, AHA, AVL, AVS, AVN, AVK Eventhough the front inner CVs have a separate part number they can be replaced with the rear CVs of any US Vanagon. The cheapest way to go of course (for a US list member) is still to just buy a complete new front drive shaft for $220 from me (at VW $1050). These are NEW VW/Lobro parts and are complete with CVs, boots and hardware. Already greased. No mess, just install. Martin Peitz |
