Gareth79 10 Posted March 8, 2016 Hello all, would anyone be able to offer up some advice or a part number for a universal joint on a vr6. I've ordered a used part but I'm not sure if it's the correct item. Hopefully someone in here will have some advice. The part numbers differ from the early models, so I'm hoping I've not miss ordered. Thanks in advance for any help offered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted March 8, 2016 I've Got a spare vr rack down in the garage, wait 'till later on and I'll check the uj's number fitted to the ZF steering rack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth79 10 Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks very much. Would I be right in thinking that the splines are different on early and late models? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted March 8, 2016 Not 100% sure mate, i did the conversion on My g60 around 10 years ago, swapped the TRW g60 rack with a ZF Rack i Got given free. Afairc, i think it was only the g60 racks that had 22 or 36 spleens cut on the uj's shaft, the ZF racks were all the same, again i could be wrong, it's been ages.. If you could send me Your email i could send you a few photos, buggered if i Know How to upload photos on the forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) 22 spline are on post 92 cars, so early 16v and g60s have the 36 spline rack and uj btw, to add an image you need to 'go advanced' on the post editor and then select manage attachments Edited March 8, 2016 by davidwort Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gareth79 10 Posted March 9, 2016 The part number on the UJ I've ordered isn't on the list. I guess that means I have the wrong part. I've looked on Vw Heritage and on the Interweb. It doesn't appear to be readily available. Anyone have any suggestions on acquiring the correct part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth79 10 Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks for your help with pictures and part numbers guys. I've just had a ridiculous phone call with Vindas. They refused to give me a part number as its against company policy? Anyone else encountered this? But I have the part number now and I think I can get my mitts on it.

Jim 2 Posted March 9, 2016 I don't get the logic of some VW dealers - I swear they're run by idiots. If you ever need confirmation of a part number just feel free to post / ask on here as someone should have access to a parts catalogue to check for you.

Philly-R6 0 Posted March 9, 2016 You can try vagcat.com (http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/vw/COR/1995/76/52/845368) which requires free registration (you may have to make a post in the forum for the initial access?). Or Jim Ellis (http://www.jimellisvwparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=741680&ukey_make=1066&ukey_model=15552&modelYear=1995&ukey_category=21731&ukey_driveLine=8034&ukey_trimLevel=18933) which is free but don't think you see UK specific parts.

Gareth79 10 Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks for all your help but by the sounds of it G60Knight has a spare one, which I will snap up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted March 9, 2016 535 is a rhd Corrado part number, if may well be correct as it seems to have a later 'D' suffix than the part numbers on the old etka parts list. would be interesting to see them side by side Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
