Hello everyone,
Ich fahre einen A6 4b 2.5tdi Quattro Ez 03/2002. MKB AKE 6. Gang switch.
Now, my front left driveshaft is making noises when accelerating or when turning.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that the boot on the front left side was completely torn. My car was briefly in the workshop with the request to replace the joint.
Call: The joint we ordered doesn't fit. I spent over an hour on the phone, and apparently there's only one left in all of Germany... but it costs 300€ just for the part.

Then I said, "Put the thing back together, I'll come and pick it up."

I just ordered this wave, which is currently on sale.
SKF VKJC 4879
According to the description, it should fit, right?

If not, then what else do I need?

Thank you very much in advance.

Without wanting to offend you, the best way to find out if the ordered part fits is to ask the supplier. icon_idea.gif
