Driveshaft part number help please 2012 CAYC Octavia estate.

Featured Replies

Hi I have had an odd wobble when accelerating for a long time. Stops when foot is lifted or clutch engageg and the only thing I haven't replaced is front drive shafts. Not sure if its the inner or outer CV that is the problem or the shaft itself. Doesnt seem to be any wear/movement so assume one is out of balance. Cars done 110k so going to replace both completely. Have found via lllpaarts the following part numbers via VIN number

Front left is 1k0407271CP or 1k0407451FX both superseded by 1k0407271LB

Front right is 1k0407272CC or 1k0407452DX both superseded by 5q0407272FF

Can anyone confirm these part numbers are correct before I order them. Going aftermarket to keep cost down so probably Febi or Apec

Thanks in advance

Yes, those are the right numbers.

Don't damage the originals whilst removing though, and keep them. Aftermarket will inevitably be lower quality. Might be better off trying 2nd hand genuine instead?

Many thanks Pete. doesn't seem to be any play or signs of any weights missing. No clunks either so wonder if one is slightly bent. Have tried everything else to cure wobble and thought I would try a couple of cheaper versions (febi/Apec around £120 for both to check if it makes any improvement. Only thing I havent changed is front shocks but they have no signs of leaking plus car seems level and feels fine over bumps etc so I assume ok. Have an old 58 plate and checked and they are the same part numbers so have a spare set of genuine if I need them.
