Default Mk5 driveshaft

Hi, new member here

I just bought a Mk5 1.8TD as an economical daily drive so I can afford to still run my ST24.

It was sold as scrap (v. cheap) though it does run. I took it for a test drive and it was making a clicking driveshaft noise when turning right and also straight ahead so I knew it wouldn't be long.

Anyway, the nearside inner CV went pop after about 50 miles. I am going to replace the whole shaft, I just want to know if it has to be a shaft from a Mk5 or will any other fit?

If anyone can help that is ace thanks
