« on: 29 September 2013, 21:34 »
Read the guide looks simple.... tge link to seller is out of stock . So found some others on ebay JOM etc but they list them gor 1.4 1.6 1.9tdi. I thought all mk4 struts were same???? Anyone know if these fit the 1.8T?? Links if you be so kind :smiley:

Get the s3 brace instead, it's OEM and definitely fits the 1.8t bay.

You can pick them up dead cheap if you look around. Mine cost 30quid delivered.

It's probably due to the engine cover
