Can anyone tell me if the notched side of the cv joint goes to the outside or inside (shown to the left hand side in the pic attached)? Any help is appreciated.

His brother and father has just installed a couple of sets

Try fitting it to the output drive shafts, is it stepped down at all.

If not it shouldnt matter...

I had the same problem with my kombi cv's. I found various VW manuals which showed conflicting photos and diagrams. So I never actually figured it out. The inner is supposed to go a certain way though

doesn't really matter
but i always install them notch out
(you can turn them around when they're worn,thats what we do for the tight arses)
