Re: tranny/cv problem?

Hi,
If you got a Jetta/Golf axle from some ##!!** in a parts store it won't turn.
The Scirocco axles are slightly more tapered. I just went through this! It had
me worried that I had messed up. Loosen the axle nut and see if this works. If
it does, hit the parts guy, i mean bring the axle back.
