As a few of you know I have just put a newer cvh engine in my s2 and was driving out the teething probs the other evening when the driveshaft decided to pop out. Thought the clutch cable had snapped first but checked and it was in tact and moving the arm back when depressed.

Looked underneath and there was box oil all over the floor which meant to me that the drive shaft had snapped or come out.

The aa man towed me to my mates garage as all my tools and ramps are at work, he got it up today and said the driveshaft needed to be knocked back in but it looks a little stretched and he thinks it may come out again.

I know the haynes says that you need to prize the driveshaft off when taking it out so was wondering if i just didnt put it back in far enough. I have also bypassed the abs and havent cut the belts yet but dont think that would make a difference.

Is there any difference between 90 and 88 spec driveshafts? I dont think there is but it made me wonder when he mentioned it looked stretched
