Re: Inner CV Boot Cover

You'll most likely have to do it one day if you're planning on keeping your B for a few years....

Re: Inner CV Boot Cover

Mine was about £11 from Halfrauds................

Quick tip, clean the area as best as you can, any grease on the boot makes it difficult to glue etc. Also, they do not fit 100%, you will need to cut slightly smaller and stretch the boot over the large end of the joint (small end fits OK), it is possible but leave the glue a long time to set.

Good luck

Re: Inner CV Boot Cover

actually, you'ld be amazed on how long a plastic sandwich baggie and lots of coppergrease lasts

had this on my citroen, as the joint cannot be split and the whole arm/strut has to be replaced, hence the cheapo solution

Probably doubled the value of the Citroen though!

Re: Inner CV Boot Cover

Well, I hate having to admit when I am wrong but.........................

It appears that the Halfrauds universal CV boot's are not designed to last the distance. Dropped my keys under the car earlier and when I bent down to pick them up noticed a little splodge of grease on the gearbox, knelt down and low and behold the fecking Halfrauds universal CV boot has almost disinterested, I thought that I had better check the other side and surprise, surprise its also split!

Anyone got a couple of spare inner CV boots.....................

Re: Inner CV Boot Cover

Fiat ordering the wrong part, I don't think is quite as bad as someone fitting a part they were told would fail many times, continued to fit it anyway and as suspected it fell appart.

Who's the now

Re: Inner CV Boot Cover

I still blame FIAT, if they have given me the right part I would not have had to race down to Halfrauds on a Sunday afternoon to get a field fix..................

I might just wrap it in a canvas bag.....................
