MOT looming in just over a month, started looking at known issues today-
Nearside inner CV gaiter had burst and I had been inside the outer one a few months ago and it did not look too good - opted to replace inner and outer CV's from J&R on Ebay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130737804008 - mine is a 2006 DSG Gti, listing suggests it is correct part.
When I got the shaft out and compared the inner CV its a completely different design:
Outer CV looks similar, but drive shaft bolt is completely different - supplied one has conical shoulder, my one is normal bolt with thick washer.
Part number label still visible gave me 1k0407271EE - from a quick trawl on ebay this seems to cover both DSG and manual driveshaft - is this the correct drive shaft for my DSG Gti or should it be the type J&R provided?
