ABY / 3B front driveshafts, are they the same?

[martinjs]

dont forget an aby one is even shorter as you have a spacer between the engine and gear box for the dual mass clutch, not sure how thick the spacer is tho,

8 or 10mm i think, but as Steve says there is plenty of movement in the engine mounts to accomodate this.

Hmm..."teh bible" says it's the same.

well.. actually it says that the shaft are the same, but the flange differs.. all the shafts are the same, with different flanges, which have different diameters and length... ?
Right? At least that's what I remember from last time I read "the bible"... ? Or is my mind playing me?

Checked again, and "driveshaft with cv joints" has the same pn# for the 3B and ABY, 8A0407271AC(left) and 8A0407272AC(right).

jupp, must certainly right.. The Rs2 one is also the same.. huh.. why is this a "must have" then? and why do I have a set of RS2 shafts in my garage for spare to the day I i'm doing the rs2 conversion?? well, "the bible" says it all.. NO NEED to change them..
