Bonnet Catch - part updated
« on: 23 December 2011, 16:10 »
After knackerin my bonnet catch, i managed, in the end to take the front of my car off to find that the old catch (part no. 1J0823509 C/D) has been updated to an E version  :rolleyes:, got one ordered at the cost of 38 squids, will fit on Thursday and let you know if its worth doing if your currently having issues with your catch!

Well, all fitted and working.  Cant see any obvious difference in the new part.  Got it lubed up so hopefully wont have anymore issues.

Nice and easy to fit however u need to take the bumper off and if you have washer jets your likely to break them if you dont do it properly (like i did  :cry:)
