Had exactly the same on my C6 (even did the same video) but that was a 85k mile 8 year old car so I'm extremely surprised a C7 has had that failure already.

Mine cost around £1600 to replace inc Labour but my 3rd party warranty covered it.

No issues on the C7 that I have heard of. How many miles has the car done? Has it ever been tracked? Were there any tell tale signs to look out for (noise/vibration i guess?).

Hope the repair is covered by warranty! Good Luck!

Car in malaysia only done 18k miles less than 3 years old .I check the part number for the propshaft currently end with alphabet J the revised version after April 2014 is M so I presumed the M is the updated one, I'm getting custom made hanger bearing here in malaysia a lot cheaper than buying complete new propshaft .

You probably shouldn't put your phone number on a public forum. And you know he has a different car to you and is in Malaysia, and it was 2 years ago?

I had this happen to my c5 Rs6 in 2007, every time I used to go from D To R on the gear box used to get a slight clonk noise.
