[Vwdiesel] Transaxle/CV question

[Charlie Franz]

Our diesels have 90mm CV joints (diameter of mounting surface?) ?  I believe a 16V A2 GTI or Jetta GLI has 100mm joints.  Anyone know if the flanges are interchangable and for that matter the axles?  i.e. Would I be able to install the 100mm final drive CV flange on my 020 5-speed transaxle; and then use the 100mm axles from an A2 16V model.  Are the axles different lengths; and will the flanges fit on the output shaft of the differential?

I would do this for 2 reasons:  I intend to replace my 1.6TD with a 1.9 mechanical TDI and I want stronger joints.  The gas axles are easier to come by.

Anybody?

Thanks
