R line 1.2 tfsi 105ps 6 speed parts

[Cheesebrains]

I've found some suspension and drive shaft for my polo, the part numbers match mine except for the letter at the end of it, as I know many vw/Audi group parts do, Im wondering if anyone knows how different these parts would be, the drive shaft is the main worry! The shaft I've found is the same part number as Audi a1 and Ibiza but not sure if those are 6 speed boxes??

the last letter makes all the difference. an a could be for 1.0 MPI and the b could be for the 192hp 1.8TFSI in the GTI...

Thanks for the reply, what would the difference be tho?? Number of splines?? The length is the same, love to know actually what the letters stand for as I'm havin same problem changing my fog bezel/covers to gloss 1's and not textured!

probably the torsional stiffness, thickness and these things are different. but i don't know since these exact specifications are not published by vw usually

The last digit refers to the revision of the part. In some cases A changes to B which changes to C over time

Sometimes it starts at J and goes to P, whereas for a different model it might be F to N

Never assume a part with a different end digit is compatible unless you have validated it on ETKA or with the dealer
