Replacing a 2004 VW Beetle inner CV boot

Yes. That would be the inner cv joint but the entire cv shaft should be replaced. The labor is the same if you are just replacing a boot, so most all cv joints are serviced this way now. The shaft generally costs under $100 and may take a couple hours to replace. There is a seal that should also be replaced at the same time. Left and right sides are different.

No need

hold the dealers feet to the fire-take it back and have them fix it- they should do this for no charge-if there's still a problem get ahold of vw and tell them what their dealer ship is like-a factory rep will be your friend- cheers Denny
