    Anyone know if the polo 6N and 6N2 stub axle bolt hole configuration is the same?

    Have been sent a drum and bearing kit for a 6N but it doesnt fit over the stub axle as I have a 6N2 - in an attempt to get the daily running this weekend I was wondering if the 6N polo stub axles fit?

    Cheers

    Thanks for the pic and sizes!

    Decided on the back of this to try it out yesterday - picked up a set of stub axles from a scrappy 6N polo and they were a straight swap - Cheers!

    The full 6N2 setup is about 200 while the 6N kit (even with the stub axles) came in just under 100 so easy way to make a bit of a saving. Could only find one place that sells the 6N2 bearings as well.

    Only problem was I damaged one of the abs sensors while removing it from the axle's backing plate! [><]
