RobT said:vr6 5-stud hubs will fit in your current hub carriers - easy job if you are mechanically minded but you will need a big vice or a hydraulic press, you will need new wheel bearings also (cheap, £15 or so) as the old ones will be destroyed when you take the old 4 stud hubs out.
You will also need VR6 outer CV joints as the spline where the hub fits the CV joint is bigger on VR6 - these will fit your driveshafts

Right, been looking on gfs to try and work out what parts I need to convert the front end of the cordy to 5 stud...
So I have a set of vr6 hubs that I've knocked out of some carriers, but it looks like part of the bearing is still stuck to them and they don't want to budge
So I thought, sod it I might buy all the bits I need new so I started to search...
New VR6 hubs are about £37 each not bad...
GSF list the same part number for the outer CV joints for the ABF Cordoba and the Golf VR6
The wheel bearings they list different ones for the golf VR6 and the cordoba 16v so which ones do I need? Because the carriers are cordoba and the hubs are VR6...
I'm soooo confused

Merc rims are 5x112
surcalation said:why not just get a hub adapater which converts a 4 stud to a 5 stud much like they are used to space your wheels out:

Do 312 brakes onto VR6 hubs still needs a spacer for the carrier?
Icecavern said:Now I think I might be getting somewhere now...
Looking again at the gsf pages again, the outer CV joint for the 1.8 16v ibiza/cordoba has a different part to the 2.0 16v outer CV, which is listed as the same as the VR6... So if this is right it would explain why you had to change your outer CV joints Rob
Hopefully will confirm this by trying one of my VR6 hubs on the end of m0rks driveshafts this weekend to be completely sure. If that's the case I just need new hubs and bearings, once I've figured out why the VR6 and cordoba bearings appear to be different parts :S
Nearly there
