    S2 Coupe rear driveshaft

    I'm looking for a rear drivers side driveshaft if anyone has one to sell? just the shaft is required, but I'll take one with CV joints if not. I presume the 3B and ABY items are identical?

    3b/aby are the same but iirc they are sided but not 100% on that. I know either the front/rear shafts are sided.

      Nobody breaking a Coupe?? Most of the cars that seem to be parted are Avants.

            According to my ETKA, 3b and aby shafts are the same.

            If your in a desperate need for one then I have one but its corroded at the end by the outer cv splines, ill dig it out tonight and take some pictures and if you want it it's yours for the postage.

              2.8/20v rear shafts are different.

              Thats a good offer by Tim above steve and probably your best option currently.

                It's not complete with joints it's only the shaft itself.

                    That would be really helpful cheers

                    I have nothing to use presently, however I'm hoping VRS might be able to locate one for me. If you're able to send it, I'll pay for it and carriage.

                        Pictures of the corrosion.







                        I'm sure Will would be able to source you a better drive shaft but if you need this one let me know.

                          Any chance you could measure the length of the shaft for me please? Will has a few that aren't marked up and my shaft is still on the car until I have chance to take it off.
