Technical Driveshaft seals... where to find them?!!

[james2609]

Hi guys,

Having a real problem here, I have 2 leaking driveshaft seals on my Panda and I cannot get the part from Fiat as it's discontinued. (I have the driveshaft where there is only one strap on the gaitor, instead of one each end).

Does anyone know where I can get the oil seals? If not, do the driveshafts with the double-strap gaitors (sorry I don't know the technical terms!!) fit as they still stock these??

Help!
Thanks

Sounds like you need 'inner CV boots' Any local motor factor should stock them, but be warned theres a few variants.

I have called Motor factors and waiting for them to call back about the part. I hope they have it!

Just got a call back from Motor Factors and they don't stock it at all

I'm giving him some details as he says he gets the parts for Panda's, so hopefully I can get them from him!
:worship:

Thanks Pandavan

OK, for anyone else having this problem, I have been shopping around all morning and finally found somewhere that has the parts.

The driveshafts the the Panda's come in 70mm or 80mm:

Part No's:
# 92601255
# 92601366

The CV to fit could be either of these two.:bang:

The place that stocks these is called Autoworld, 01246 572202 at £9.35 each!

So I may just have my oil leak fixed before Panda Camping!!!

Hi,

First Line make all of the different gaiters if you are still having a problem. You'll find them listed here: http://www.firstline.co.uk/op3/product_set.php?mode=5&type=PV&mmeid[0]=1011&make=Fiat&model=Panda&variant=Mk%20I&subvariant=(1981-95)&engine=1.0&product=Boot%20Kits

You'll just have to work out which one is yours! If it's the one with a nylon bush as on the old 4x4s it will only cure your leak partially as in my expereince they are c**p

Best BR

That link doesn't want to work properly. Go here: http://www.firstline.co.uk/op3/prod...&variant=Mk+I&subvariant=(1981-95)&engine=1.0 and click on boots.

Those pictures of the boots are exactly what I need, thanks for this site. I hope this will cure the leak, but we'll have to wait and see as never replaced gaitors before!

will let you know how I get on and post up some pics

Fiat no longer stock the driveshaft boots?! As in the gaiters that stop oil coming out the gearbox??

If so this is a serious problem for Panda fans as those boots are a regular consumable item and I don't know of any alternatives...

Just to add that you can't buy direct friom Firstline but they supply loads of factors so just ask them for one close to you.
