Hello!
I own a Skoda Octavia Scout from 2008.
The reason I am writing here is that this car is very similar to Audi/VW.
I have a problem with my Flexible disc that is mounted on the propshaft and the rear differential.
This results in very big vibrations in low rpm´s, from 1000 rpm to 1500rpm under load.
I have bought number 18 in this picture with Art.nr 1K0521307A
from Febi bilstein, their art.nr is 40931

No problem there, and I was going to replace it tomorrow on a friends column lift.
I was then reading on Elsa, that there is two different propshafts.
One that is "one-piece" and one that is "two-piece"
In the section "one-piece" propshaft I read this that made me kind of nervous if it is possible.
Flexible disks to propshaft and corresponding fixing screws are not supplied as spare parts. Thus in
case of damage, the entire propshaft must be replaced
In the section "two-piece" propshaft there is this message.
During the manufacture, the entire propshaft is balanced, in order to obtain the smoothest running
possible. The balancing of the entire propshaft or the individual propshaft pipes is not possible with
workshop tools. It is therefore essential to always replace the entire propshaft in case of damage to the
front or the rear propshaft pipe.
Here is the pdf to the two-piece propshaft instructions

And here is the pdf to the one-piece propshaft

Here is also the diagram for propshaft article numbers.

I was of course under the impression that it was possible to replace the flexible disc, why else would there be an article number in ETKA?
Someone who can point me in the right direction here?
I have seen a couple of you that have replaced it, but maybe you had another propshaft than me?
I am hoping someone could help me out here.
Thanks in advance!
