Just had my car diagnosed by Pug and they say i need a new driveshaft as the n/s/f regulator ring has cracked. Quoted £300!
Is it not possible to just get a new ring? Only other option is a spare driveshaft from the scrapyard for about £40. Any recommendations?

yeah, ABS ring is a regulator ring, if you google them both and click images you'll see they look the same.
Mine had come off completely and i managed to replace just the ring - huge saving

GTi 2.0 2003.
Baffled as to why Pug would say I need a new drive shaft if it is just the ring cracked.

erm - maybe because they want the £300???
Changing the CV joint is an option too but what i said originally is the cheapest option.

Because Peugeot dont list the ring as a spare part, for a main dealer its a complete driveshaft

Can get a new ring for £10 but sizes are 90mm or possibly 86mm. How would I know which would fit?

paulrushton - It says those parts are for a 1.6, will it fit a GTi? Bargain for a cv joint.
Edit - CV joint for a GTi is £20, probably worth the extra £10 compared to an ABS ring.
