C5 X7 Drive shaft length

Post by Majanor »

Hi, am looking to ascertain length of o/side drive shaft ( CV boot split, diff oil seal leak). Shaft may be worn where it contacts seal.
2.0Hdi 2008, 6 speed manual
When I look on usual suspects for part, not main dealer, I am given several options length wise.
VIN No. VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Any assistance in establishing length reqd. gratefully appreciated,
Many thanks , Norman

Be VERY aware buying from aftermarket - the OEM original part number is 3272RV for the left hand side and 3273SH for the right hand side one. The size is not listed, but you must get the exact part number - the sizes range considerably - do not get similar part numbers.

Did order new RHS from dealer, they where able to offer me a Citroen approved remanufactured one. Shaft arrived, my man went to fit it( I'm in Cyprus at moment) and low and behold a short shaft with no centre bearing was removed from box. He feels it could be for a 107 as it is so totally wrong.
So Monday will begin with a call to dealer to get proper shaft by Tuesday as it's tying up workshop space, my guy has learnt valuable lesson i.e.open the box at counter.
In my own engineering background it's not the first time wrong part in correct box, so probably a lesson for us all no matter where parts are obtained !!

I suspect it was because it was an exchange one outside of Citroen quality control!

I would - especially due to the extra cost in delay and inconvenience - after all that is why one usually goes to the dealer in the first place - good luck :)
