    Just a quick question in the hope somebody can give me a straight answer

    I have a 2nd hand set of good quality drive shafts of a 2002 b5.5 Avb Passat 1.9tdi

    I want to know will these shafts fit a 2002 A6 c5 Avant Awx 1.9tdi

    Part numbers are diferent but the shafts look identical.I dont want to take it all apart only to find out there is a small diference between the 2

    Thanks for any help

    Audi DriveShaft 4B0 407 271 C
    Passat 8D0 407 271 EK

    Do you know what bhp the AVB is ?
    I know the AWX is 130 bhp as I have an A6 myself with the AWX engine and a friend of mine has a 2004 Passat with the AWX also.
    I know the shafts look the same as I have done work on both - but sometimes if the bhp is different the shafts can be slightly different also.
    Have a look

    From this they appear to be different ???

    Avb is 100 BHP
    Awx is 130
    Avf is 130

    I think you are right they are slightly diferent,I see the avb has 33 gearing teeth and the awx has 38,maybe that is the slight diference,shame I broke my avb to keep parts up for the awx and some don't fit,i have the injectors and all left but they don't fit the awx block,Might just sell the 2 drive shafts and get 2 new cv joints for either shaft on the car already,cheers for help
