[taximike]

my cv joint has completely destroyed itself on my c8 20 hdi auto , the biggest problem is that noone does a joint only and citroen say i have to buy a complete driveshaft .Trouble is they dont have one and are saying i have to wait 3 weeks for it to come from france! I am a taxi driver and 3 weeks off road is not very good.Does anyone know where i can get a shaft or a cv joint from ??? any helpmuch appreciated .

hi im assuming its the outer cv joint. phonr the dealers and ask for the part numbers for a c8 cv and the part number for a c5cv as im sure there the same on the auto versions only if not you could try taking the guts out of a c5 cv joint(keep and ball bearings) and putting them into your c8 cv joint. And 3 weeks of work if your as busy as us then youl not be missing much
