Bonnet Lifters

[Rael]

I have searched on here, and on google but to no avail. I would really like some hydraulic bonnet lifters. Does anyone know of a supplier, or if some universal kit is available that might work?

Cheers!

You have to get 2 hydraulic lifters for the Cordoba boot (ref # 6L5 827 550 B) and 4 connectors (ref # 895 827 439 B).

HERE is a translated page from the french forum (taken from the spanish forum hehe).

Wouldn't mk5 Golf lifters not fit?

I have them fitted to mine, after looking at the SEAT racing TDI's I have used the boot gas springs from the Seat Arosa [any model - £5.0 the pair down a scrap yard] they could be better but it was worth the try out [nb these gas springs have a l o t of power in their compressed state so beware - fixings must be strong and how you fit them to the bonnet which is very thin!!]

Are boot lifters really strong enough then? I only ask because the bonnet seems quite heavy in comparison with a boot? Cheap enough from a scrappy though, might have a look for some next time I'm passing.

The reason I was asking about this was when changing my headlight bulbs yesterday, getting to the nearside was as pain because the bonnet holder thing was right in the way!

Thanks for the info!
