I just bought a boot from a local parts store for 15 bucks and did it myself....its a pretty simple job. But i called a local european car shop and they quoted me 80 bucks...

There are write up's, parts and tools need lists, and pictures to go along with the fix on this site

Good Luck

If your boot is not ripped badly just fill it back up with CV-Joint grease (available at any parts store) and patch the rip with a good thick coating of rubber cement and let it dry for at least 24 hours and you are good to go. I did that on mine and the patch job is still holding just fine and i've already put 7000 more miles on it.

PS make sure that you use CV-Joint grease or you will ruin your bearings and make sure that you fill the boot up at least 3/4 clean the boot before applying the cement and everything should turn out fine. The whole fix should cost about $10.00

 

if your CV boot is ripped change it

 

Something about pricing and service shops.
For CV boot replacement (front, right, outer) dealers quoted $380($90 parts).
Independent shop did it for $300 (quoted $180), second independent shop quoted $440??! I live in Calgary, AB and booking an appointment takes at least 2 weeks. Once I gave my power tools to a friend due to decision not to use them anymore (on my 4000Q), I might reconsider that decision (for my 2.7T)… Dealers are save place, I guess prices are insane all over the town… Two days ago I broke an adaptor attemting to open the well torqued wheel bolts (using 1m pipe extender), I was lucky… An independent German cars shop bent my propeller shaft while changing the hanging bearing… Any suggestions about a repair shop I Calgary?
