Just had my front tyres replaced on my A6 Avant 2002 2.5 TDI.

The fitter did a visual inspection and pointed out the outer CV boot that is starting to perish and there's oil on it (black, doesn't look like grease, more like oil) so possible fine cracks, but hard to see clearly.

Brand new drive shaft fitted last August so I'm surprised. The drive shaft came completely assembled with CVs and boots.

I'll take a closer look myself, but any recommendations for decent brands of boots?

Thanks
