    my inner left CV boot ripped and im trying to get a replacement. However im not sure which one is going to fit my car seeing how there's different ones for tiptronic/DGS/manual. So from this list http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/200..._boot_kit.html which one would fit my 2006 tiptronic? Thanks

    Don't replace the boot. Replace the whole thing.

    You could go for this http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/de...?apwcid=nextag.

    Before my accident I had my passenger side replaced for $160 installed, new. I also recommend rhttp://www.raxles.com/ but they are about $240 shipped.

    Well this is ironic. I bought a new passat (used) on Friday and now there's a clicking noise when I turn right. Good thing is, my dealer is taking care of it now.

    ok so the CV joint arrived. And i have 1 question. Why doesnt it have a ABS ring? Does the passat not need one? I though that all CV joints has ABS bands? a little insight would be neat

    ok so i got my car back and ABS works fine. The OEM CV joint didnt have ABS ring either so this joint is good to buy. Do note however the one that i bough is a little bit heavier than OEM.
