View Full Version : any ideas???
i wrongly purchased 2 new inner cv's for my corsa c, the car has had x16xe engine conversion and i was told by the previous owner that i needed to get hold of some corsa gsi inner cv's. allparts specially ordered me in the pair, took them home tried to fit them then realised that they are only 25 spline when i need 28! not only that but one of them just fell apart when we put the cv in the vice and yanked the shaft out! so now i need to take them back for a refund. whats the best thing to say, i was thinking of saying that i didnt want these cv's as there poorly made and not mentioning the fact that there the wrong size? or i could try the whole "you supplied me the wrong cv's, i asked for 28 spline" i really dont know, and i need the cash as im off on holiday on monday and dont have that much spending money... please enlighten me with your words of wisdom! cheers
so you didnt take the shaft out properly and broke the CV joint..... thats not their fault

how have you perceived that i removed the shaft incorrectly???? the person who removed the cv has been a mechanic for over 30 years, he said he has never seen a cv fall apart like that before, they are re-con units so i assume they have been reconditioned incorrectly :wtf: if you have nothindg helpfull to say why do you feel the need to reply, dont ban me for 6 months:thumb:

He says it how it is and i agree !!!!!!
so you buy a cv from somewhere, and it falls apart, thats your fault is it, forget it!

it sounds like you have fitted the shaft in there and forcefully removed it was found to be incorrect !

i wrongly purchased 2 new inner cv's for my corsa c
Whose fault is that? :wtf:
the shaft was never fitted to the vehicle. we assembled the shaft in a vice, the outer cv went on first, no problems, then the inner, it was then obvious that the shaft had a different number of splines as there was a ridiculous amount of play in the shaft. so i spread the clip open that holds the shaft into the cv, the mechanic then pulled the cv out in a jolting motion, no excessive force was used, on the second pull the inside part of the cv came completely out of the body! now considering ive seen people do this with a hammer so it was more than unexpected, i understand that it was my fault for purchasing the wrong cv, however, a cv shld not fall apart like that no matter how you look at it, so if the cv was the correct cv for me i would still not be happy about putting something so fragile inside my new gearbox and on my custom driveshafts, and i asked the salesmen at the counter if it had 28 spline to which he replied " its for a corsa so it will fit your car". look upon how you will put ive been sold faulty goods and believe i deserve a refund, i just wanted to know the best way to go about it
Whose fault is that? :wtf:
i was told by the previous owner that i needed to get hold of some corsa gsi inner cv's:wtf: try reading the whole thing!
one of them just fell apart when we put the cv in the vice and yanked the shaft out!
That is the incorrect way to remove a driveshaft from a CV joint...... Even a mechanic of 30yrs should know that!!!
dont be such a fanny about "ohh dont ban me" lol

you could get a credit for the undamaged one !! and saying that you purchased them incorrectly is anyones fault but not checking the item before you try and ram the wrong drive shaft in is yours mofo
sorry to sound harsh but anyone will tell you that this is true!
you will be charged a restocking fee as you asked for something and were supplied it... if you ask for the wrong thing thats not the shops fault
aaarrrrrrggggghh, wtf , i have done nothing wrong, i bought the cv's i was told that i needed, they where correctly removed and 1 broke, i even went out of my way to take it to the best mechanic i know even though ive done it before because i didnt want to chance anything! how would you take it? cant see what ive done wrong here

I used to work for Allprats. The "its for a corsa so it will fit your car" statement does not suprize me one bit tbh. The majority of there sales team haven't a clue. I enquired for some 256mm ATE calipers for my XE nova and the reply I got off one of the salesmen was "Its dangourous to fit different calipers to your car that never came as OE"
Best thing to do is take them back and say they fell apart when you built them up. Get your money back. Go to another branch and buy the right ones this time.

what is the correct way of removing a cv joint, just for future prefrence, and i was taking the pi$$ about the banning thing:roll:
i bought the cv's i was told that i needed,
There in lies the problem. If you dont knwo what you need to buy and buy the correctly supplied but incorrectlya sked for item its NOT the suppliers fault.
Like if you get told you should buy 80 grit sand paper to polish a car with, and you goto a shop to ask for that, and you get sold it, and then you find it screw your paint up... thats not the shops fault, thats your/the advice you got from someone elses fault.

thankyou mate, some real sense talking there. ive recently discovered that the inners i need are actually custom cv's, mega bucks but at least im clear on what i need now. lets face if the person who built the car didnt even know what cv's they used allparts aint gonna have a clue, also the outer cv's they sold me had no hub nut or cv grease and i had to exchange one of them because the cv in the box was and old one which someone had obviously swapped with a new one and took it back to the shop! useless

They are pretty useless and won't put up much of a fight when you return them. They will not charge you for for returning them either. I used to deal with returns every now and again.

i see what your saying, but lets just say they where the correct cv's, i wouldnt be to keen on using them if there so fragile, and the bloke who took it out knows his stuff, trust me, he said hes never seen that happen before, thats got to be saying something surely, anyways, im going to take both of them back, show them the damaged one and tell them i dont want to use this make of cv as they are week or re-manufactured incorrectly, worst that can happen is they tell me to fek off and ive lost £50, rather not though:)

listen, i went to over 10 different motor parts stockists to see if they can identify what cv's i had, i then went to vauxhall which were less use than the other lot, i went to every scrapyard in my area and scoured the interweb for days, nothing, then i started ringing numbers that had been written on some of the recipts that came with the car, finally i managed to get hold of the person who built the car 4 years ago , this is who told me what cv's to get. i also went to a number of garages most didnt have a clue! what more could i have done fella?

Another lesson learned is just go to the supplier !!!!!! and tell them what happened rather posting up a thread that more or less says that im a useless tw4t and cant fit a cv joint and i have broken it and now i have to make up some excuse to send it back !!
We all at PNG will take no prisoners when taking the p155
many thanks for you visit

As I don't own a Corsa C I cannot help on your exact matter but surely you could of taken a few pictures of said cv's and asked peoples opinion what they might be. ;)

Difficult to tell really as this could go either way 50/50. The allparts in my area are really helpful as the guy used to work for Vaux parts desk and the manager was a manager at a big tyre/exhaust place and they really know their stuff, but I've been to motorfactors that haven't got a clue.
All you can really do is pluck up the courage and go to the motorfactors and explain. We could type all day about this and what's gonna be said or who we think is at fault, but the sure way to find out is to go do it.
I've been in situations where I've bought new parts from places off the net and/or factors. Taken them to a reputable garage (which I've used many times) for them to break whilst fitting or don't fit correctly even though they are the right part. Only thing that can be done is to get that garage to write a statement regarding the faulty part, giving their professional opinion.

You started the tread saying you yanked out the shaft and it broke, said you ordered the wrong cv. Now you wonder after a bit of reverse cycling why you got flamed? Grow up.
