I assume youve tried GSF?
Im sure i bought one when i was stripping all mine down as i ended up finding a split in one that i thought was ok.
Im sure it must've been GSF i got it from.
Ps, hows them Manifolds coming on, im gonna be needing them pretty soon?

Pretty sure not GSF, though they might order some from VW for you if you ask nicely... they used to, but stopped for small orders!!

Hmmm, i wonder where i got it from then, as i'm sure it wasn't vw in the end.
I was so stunned by how much they wanted for a CV joint, that ive barely been back since..
Just out of interest, how do they differ from the inner's?

In theory the boots may be available via GKN, you can certainly get complete joint kits via GKN. You'd need to find a dealer/distributor to hunt them down and order them.
I've only ever heard of them being available from VW in the UK, make sure you get the correct one, there's an early and a late version. They different by being made from a tough plastic not rubber, and fit specifically to the outer CVJ's. A special high-strength oetiker clamp is used which needs a special tool to apply enough force, and the factory procedure includes a bead of sealant (I use sikaflex) around the CVJ before fitting the boot.

If your talking about those white rubbery things that go on the end of those metal stick things inside the front wheels
Grant at Jacks garage told me that they are the same as the audi quattro type car fings
but what do I know......I'm just a numpty
