Driveshaft lengths (bare driveshaft lengths) ** wanted **

Great, that's my recollection - the 02K. Never paid any attention to it, long since being bypassed by the 02A/J.

I've added in scope for an 085 box for the Mk3, and am now left wondering, whether I have one too many sections in (020 non-GTI, given we assume they're all 100mm CVs), or perhaps one missing (Mk3 VR6 - or is this the same as the GTI? I think it is).

I don't need a beer - Paracetamol please!

 

I reckon golf mk3 VR6 and GTI are the same shafts, at least length wise as they use the same box and wishbones / hubs.
Unsure of mk3 020 non gti inner cv sizes but diesels are 100mm.

Beer and paracetamol for me now!

 

Ok, table now updated with options for Mk3 085 and Mk3/4 020 hybrid.

Let me know if more needed.

Good point on the 020 / hybrid ratios.

 

Rubjonny can you check 8v and 16v scirocco engine and gearbox mounts to see if they are the same?
Maybe the 16v mounts move the engine away slightly from the chassis leg to give clearance for the slightly wider timing belt and covers? This may explain the different shaft listings you are seeing between the two.
Genuine 16v sciroccos are so rare though, that the chances of turning up a good pair of shafts if they are different will be virtually impossible.

The gearbox types and ratios would be better in its own specific thread as there is way more to that than all this driveshafts info. Save getting the 2 things mixed up.

 

There's only ~10mm to play with laterally in the engine mounts (the chassis mounts with oval holes). I very much doubt this would have been explored for a short production run vehicle.

 

Stripped my front Rallye drive shafts today, ready to powder coat. I have measured them the best I can, would be great if someone else could confirm these measurements;

Bare short shaft 433mm
Bare long shaft 501mm

Hope this helps

Great - 433 (432) is what I'd expect for the short shaft, since there's no reason for it to differ from FWD.

Cheers for that. List updated on prev page for now.

 

084 measures 208.5mm between the face of the flanges, measured in the same way as above.

This suggests that, 084 shafts should be an average of ~ 7 mm longer than a 90mm shaft per side, and ~21mm longer than a 100mm shaft, depending on where the diff/output shaft faces are positioned in the 084/020 boxes respectively.

 

The box does not sit in the same position as the 020 though.
084 / 085 boxes use the same length os shaft as the 90mm 020 but a longer one on the ns.
I needed a 1300 golf ns for a project of mine.

 

Just to confirm, the short shaft for an 020 box with 90mm flanges from a 1.6 MK2 Driver is 443mm

 

Thanks.

90mm inner CVs?

 

Indeed, since it's raining here and I'm bored I might get the long one in from the shed and have a look at that.

 

Well here's the O/S one, again Haynes is right for the non-GTI, 677.2mm.



Also in case it hasn't been covered yet and anyone is wondering, the flanges on the MK2 GTI box (100mm inner CVs) stick out further from the casing than the MK2 non-GTI (90mm inner CVs), hence the shorter shafts to compensate.

 

Great, thanks for doing that.

All updated on page 4 here

 

Just to add on this,

Firstly 250mm confirmed again for CZM, which may be an 02J box.

Second, the lip on that output flange is 3.25mm per side, meaning the mounting faces are 243.5mm apart.

 

Anybody find out the lengths for the Golf 2 yet? I've been digging around, can't seem to find them. If I wasn't overseas on business, I'd them off my GTI and measure them.

 

Which Mk2 Golf ones? Most are here:

Ah, OK. I read the note on the bottom thinking those were the wrong ones from the Haynes manual. Thanks for clearing that up.
