colin l Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi all. My left /right drive shafts are getting very rusty. I would like to change them but are very hard to source. I'm a bit confused as when looking the same vag number comes up for the Lupo GTi and the Polo 6n GTi. Are these the same and fit each other ? Any advice much appreciated. Colin.

oVerboost Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Is it 5 or 6 speed? If it's the 6 speed, then you'll need the Lupo GTi specific shafts, if it's the 5 speed then I THINK the Polo GTi ones will work. I bought some off ebay recently from a guy breaking a 6 speed to keep in the garage in case I ever need them, then I don't have the stress of trying to source some. There are also some new ones listed on eBay, but check carefully as a lot of the part numbers listed with these aren't for the 6 speed versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 If you can afford to keep the Lupo off the raod, you can strip them down to just shafts and get the them powder coated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 I have a handy spare set of 6n2 shafts taking up space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I this true, as I have a chance to buy a set of drive shafts , but the seller bought them a number of years ago and doesn't know if there 6 or 5 speed. Is there any way to tell the difference visually. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
