Dblock Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I have a 2003 Arosa 1.4tdi AMF. So I was driving along took a corner heard some knocking I thought great my cv joint is on the way and and then bang car stopped moving forward once I had straightened out. Heard something flicking so I thought probably snapped driveshaft. Pushed it to safety got under the car driveshafts look fine. Hmm. Then I remembered there is 2 different cv joints in the lupo/arosa. It's an inner and an outer. Engine works fine, clutch and gears go in fine but when you release the clutch you hear that flapping sound and the car doesn't move. So if you had to put money on it what would you say it was? I'm guessing inner cv joint. Since I've moved I can't work on the car myself so I'm wanting to order parts before it goes into the garage and then I have to wait for parts to be delivered etc etc. All help appreciated.

Pete Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Id say diff personally, sounds just like when my cupra r went spectacularly. If it's inner cv joint or owt like that you should be able to see the cup that fits to the gearbox spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I couldn't see that bit due to being dark and raining. Hmm can it just fail like that. I've had gearboxes go but never a diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 It can. Trust me. Mine never showed any weakness, no crunching, no slipping, no noises, came off a roundabout, bang, no drive, made that much of a racket I thought my cam belt had snapped, no oil loss, diff just decided it'd rather live in the bell housing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 It's the inner CV. Start the car, put it in gear and when it rattles walk to the front and one of the gearbox cups will be spinning.good luck with the quest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
