Reece94 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi, ive just bought a 1.4 tdi lupo and it needs a new passenger side drive shaft, I was just wondering if any of the other lupo shafts will fit as I'm finding it hard to locate a model specific shaft, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Have you tried Eurocarparts and eBay? Other than that give lupoboz a pm for a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0ssi_tdi Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've found that whole shafts are hard to come by especially from new. Eurocarparts sell the CV kits, but not shafts. Can I ask why you need a new shaft? I thought mine needed a new shaft as it made a horrible noise on every rotation like a thud. Original thought was wheel bearing but on inspection there was no play or anything that would suggest a bearing so thought the worst and looked for drive shafts. When I found they were hard to get I drove it for a bit longer and decided to get the wheel bearing done which did infact solve the issue. Hope yours is this and saves you a few £££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece94 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Ah god, ive just bought a full shaft, I guess if the shaft isn't the issue I will do the wheel bearing instead haha cheers for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0ssi_tdi Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 What's the problem with yours? Can always return it or flog it on here or eBay if you don't need it...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
