[Vwdiesel] Oil in CV Boot

[H.Hagar]

inner cv boot was full of gear oil   Could this lack of oil have caused any damage? 

Kevin  could you explain a bit more ?

A dry joint would have been worse IMHO.       Anyway tell us that your tranney is full
of lube.

How many miles on tranney  ----?       I had one here that was full of oil ----I never
worried about it -- and it still works ----no humming.      Those noises can be PIA stuff.

In the archives you can find some nifty tools (made at home) and how to change seal.

If it does not drip oil to the outside ----- why worry ? .   At least you know that spline is
getting lube.And the balls are lubricated.

question :   Is the plastic or rubber plug in place ?  ---mine are all green the way 
I remember. (dust cap)

Hagar.
