Hi Citroenians
After some advice re C5 Mk1 driveshafts please :-
Car in question is a Mk1 2.2HDI (DW12TED4) estate with the ZF 4HP20 auto gearbox and I am in need of a RH driveshaft as I'm 99% certain the inner joint is on its last legs. Sounds simple enough - but no 2 parts shops seem able to agree on which one I need as the auto and manual ones are different lengths
The options seem to be 934mm (SKF VKJC5266) or 907mm ( CEVAM 7095)
Can anyone out there confirm which of the 2 is the correct fitment for the auto box? General concensus seems to be the 934mm SKF (or a Spidan one also 934mm) but I also have a couple of votes for the shorter CEVAM one
I *think* the Citroen part number is 3273EK but the Citroen site doesn't tell you helpful stuff like how long it is and I have no intention of paying Citroens outlandish prices for a replacement!
Unfortunately I can't do the obvious - take the old shaft off, measure it and then order a replacement - its my partners car, she's disabled and can't afford to be without it for a week
If anyone can resolve this - we'd be grateful
Thanks all,
Martin

I would mail JR Driveshafts with Citroen P/N. Good prices. I have had the rubber boots from them and service was good. Others on here have had the CV joints.

I second that. I've had complete driveshafts off them and they've been very good.lexi wrote:I would mail JR Driveshafts with Citroen P/N. Good prices. I have had the rubber boots from them and service was good. Others on here have had the CV joints.

Re: C5 2.2HDI Mk1 - which driveshafts?
Martin - According to documentation for your VIN, it is the 934mm one, Exchange Part No is 3273 8V or New Part No: 3273 EK (as you stated). Picture below and here is confirmation from infopart.org regarding the size:

Hi folks,
Thanks to those who replied to this thread. Progress (and my replying here) got slightly delayed by a couple of months due to a gross excess of other work - the one that pays the bills for new driveshafts - but problem now resolved thanks and the weird undiagnosable vibration that made the car feel like it was about to fall apart at anything over 50mph has exited stage left
For the record - JR no longer do driveshafts for this car, but the SKF VKJC5266 (934mm) was the correct aftermarket equivalent and went straight in - after the mandatory amount of lying under the car trying to get spanners into all-but-impossible positions whilst quietly, but systematically, cursing whoever designed the 'tight interference fit' intermediate bearing carrier
Damn these things have seriously beefy driveshafts, weigh a ton, are they recycled off a 10-ton truck, make the old CX ones look positively spindly
Took the opportunity to change the ATF in the 4HP20 box as well - and I don't care what the marketting men say about 'sealed for life' gearboxes, the changes are definitely lots better with 3.5 litres of new LT71141 in it - and for what that stuff costs they should be!
