Bonrath Power Lifter Bonnet Struts
« on: 16 May 2008, 11:28 »
Hi all,

Does anyone know of a site that has the fitting instructions for bonrath power lifters for a mk2. I have recently picked a set up on the cheat but they do not have the fitting instructions. Alternatively do you have a copy you could e-mail me?

Also the struts seem to be set solid (no rust) is this how they should be?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Dunno about those particular ones, but the struts I got for my Mk3 VR6 were virtually impossible to compress by hand.... 

They were relatively simple to fit, one end replaced an existing bolt that was holding the wing on, and the other end replaced a bolt on the Bonnet hinge.
Sold the VR6... Now officially An Old Man With A Passat Estate.  At least it's a 1.8T :grin:
