Uhm, where is the part about the CV joint overhaul?
It doesn't seem to be in this thread....

Do I need to get the original audi parts (at 486 euro's a piece....) Or am I correct in assuming these ford CV joints also fit, and if so, what would be the partnumbers????

Also, I have a S6, will all of the above work on my car?

The proper Audi centre bearing was over £100...

Yeah, it would be

Be good to finish it off if you've got some more pics.

VAG Parts are advertising a prop centre bearing on their website now too and at £18 it seems to be about the right price.

That is the one i used Andy...

The proper Audi centre bearing was over £100 but the febi one has been used by plenty on here with no ill effects.

If you need more pics it is still to be fitted to the car so i can take some more...

Mods, can someone make this a sticky please as it's really rather useful!

David, please could you post up the latest part numbers of the bits you used as a lot of the infor is a few years old in previous threads.

I've put a few other useful links below:-

When i did mine i removed the heatshields, but didn't remove the exhaust, i just dropped it off all the rubber mountings so it sat really low, then it was easy to slide the prop out towards the back of the car.

excellent write up. Thank you.

Get a good stainless system makes this easier to do in the future but it is something that won't need doing that often really so the choice is yours.

Yes there are power gains to the exhaust system if the car is mapped properly as it reduces back pressure on the hotside....

Reference- Propshaft Overhaul

Hi S2 Forum Members

I have decided to give my S2 a Prop Overhaul, when i had a quick look the other day what was involved to do the job. i was gob smacked as to how much messing about it involves, firstly with the removal of the exhaust system as mine is all standard with three rusted up bolts through every flange holding every box together, then secondly removing all the alloy heat shields etc.

Is there any easy way of doing this particular job??

Would it be easier having the System replaced with a Stainless System from the Cat back?? then at least i wouldnt be having to mess about with all the Original fiddly system.

Is there much power to be gained by doing the Exhaust System?? or am i letting myself in for Boost Spike problems etc by lowering back pressure etc??

Any help would greatly be appreciated

Regards Audimaniac

next job reassemble the u-joint and change the cv joints at either end
