as there is a few part numbers and tweaks and tricks about the forum that are all in the name of saving time/money i thought i'd start a parts list off for easier reference (any additions feel free to add:
Inner CV Driveshaft Bolts
As the VW original multi spline ones are well at best 'soft' and shouldn't be reused as you can gaurantee one will round off when rerplacing them use the stronger Allen headed version available from local Ford Dealer - cheaper too *edit 2009* now supplied Torx 6 Type but still just as strong and put VW ones to shame
pt/no 6769287
be 100% sure you replace the double washers as without these your shaft bolts will work themselves loose and usually drive the shaft out the bottom of through the gear box casing
