Replacing Your Vw Polo's Inner Cv Boot (1.4 Tdi 9n) 

Excellent demonstration and also step by step illustration. Talks through exactly what he does. Brilliantly presented. 5 star rateing

Very good video. I will do this job this week, alongside one gearbox seal.

Thanks for this vid. Everything nicely explained and some good tips there, e.g. jamming spanner into brake disc to lock rotation. Showed me how to remove the driveshaft from the hub, which was holding up my strut replacement job.

I have a serious amount of play on my 6R Polo and keep putting off this job. Thanks for the video, it has given me a bit more confidence to bite the bullet on this. I might also just replace the entire shafts rather than go through the hassle of pulling the CV joints apart as I should be able to get replacements from China pretty cheaply as they have the same model there and parts should be easy to get hold of. They Haynes manual also recommends you replace the axle nut each time you remove it although I know many mechanics just re-use the old one. I guess the tolerances for these are pretty high so probably overkill but wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this. If the nuts are cheap and readily available, might as well do that just for extra peace of mind.

Great video many thanks!!

Just a note on this. That joint that didn't move properly had been put together incorrectly. On the inner and outer parts of the joint you will see grooves that the balls run in? You'll notice that some have a wide space between them, and some a narrow space between them. A wide space on the outer should be adjacent to a narrow space on the inner. You'll see that by chance, the first was like this, and worked, but the other, the narrow gaps on inner and outer were facing each other. Also, there is a groove around the outside of the joint, that is USUALLY the gearbox side of the joint. Refit them as they come off though. These were correct.

Cheers 😎 my daughter's car needs one done

Planning to do my mk4 tdi boots, while in there i want to change the oil seals on the gearbox, cars originals still on 18 years old, oil sweating oit little bit now. One boot teared so im replacing all 4.

The screwdriver in brake disc method is not a good idea as all the force is placed on the little countersunk set screw. In my case it sheared the screw before it came loose.

My bolts have snapped off and now the axle is hanging off , can I take the whole thing out of the gearbox?

Once you know you are going to cut off boots, you might as well dip the assembly in your favourite parts cleaner and rinse the black grease away. That's what I do at least. Then I'm working on clean parts and I can see what I'm doing.

Good video but you should use new bolts on the ball joint and, a new hub nut.

Great informative video. One part you did skip over though was how you freed off the binding cv joint after you installed all the ball bearings. Can you remember how you managed it? Thanks.

really interesting video max.Thanks, Tony uk

Can anyone tell me what size socket I need for the outer driveshaft retaining nut,and what size Torx for the 6 inner bolts? Thanks in advance! Great video,thanks for posting!👌

Hello Do you drain the gearbox before removing the transmission? THANK YOU

Has anyone here had problems with a steering wheel vibrations at higher speeds?? I've been through all the likely culprits but nothing has changed yet. Im wondering if this will fix my problem...

Would that driveshaft fit a Seat 2007 Cordoba 1.4 TDI?

So you didn't need to take the track rod end off ..👍👍👍👍👍

Hi there at 17:49 is that gasket broken or they always look like that I jus removed mine and it looks like that please don’t say I have to replace it

Why are the driveshafts on each side different thicknesses?

My mechanic removed it from under the car without removing the 6 screws. I dont know how he did it.

What size spline for the inner bolts?

Is it the same idea for an A2?
