Sorry, I thought I was clear on this subject, but you've obviously misunderstood. There is no such thing as a drum brake version. These axles will accept BOTH drums or discs; There are not two different types. Please refer to the second picture in post #5 - You can see that the unused mounting bracket for the disc brake caliper is visible to the L/H edge of shot. To fit drum brakes, you will need to remove the back plates from your existing axle and fit them to the new one.
To be absolutely clear on this subject, THESE POLO AXLES ARE NOT A STRAIGHT SWAP ONTO THE A2. You will need to modify them, which will involve some fabrication and welding. Please bear this in mind before parting with any cash, or getting into a row with parts suppliers.
I bought mine from this ebay seller and didn't have any problems:

It was advertised as a refurbished item, but I couldn't see any evidence that it had ever actually been fitted to a car. They couldn't care less whether I was going to try to fit it to a Polo or a Ferrari. Perhaps they'd be worth a look?
