Well, I 'opened' the axle some time ago. Guess what. It's beyond repair aswell. I'm gettin' tired with these axles already :) At the moment I can't go forward because of lack of parts. If you read this and have GOOD axle laying around for sale, let me know.

Drove 1000km christmas trip with S2. I was little worried how it copes in the extreme weather conditions (minus 32 degC at worst), but all went well. I had put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator to minimize the airflow cooling effect during winter.
