Mmm have to say I'm tempted to get an S3 too for my LC

 

[Brucel]

I have an AAT which looks pretty and does the job....

Just a question of trusting a place to fit it etc.

 

[J@mes]

Will this require any modification for my Leon FR Tdi? I notice that the main problem seems to be the bonnet lifter getting in the way? They claim this one is for the 150tdi

Upper S3 strut part # = 8L9805629A

not sure what other bits you need to mount it though..... bolts etc

 

[tris]

Just got my S3 strut brace today! Had to move a metal plate which held two metal water pipes to get it on but only took 2 bliming hours!!! I strongly suggest to anybody that fits one themselves to remove the wheels and possible suspension as its a right c**t with those bits all on there still!

the only part i found that was a right c*nt was drilling the 6 holes through the struts!

i jacked up the car, side by side so i could get my arm up in the wheel arch to hold a spanner on the bottom of the bolts whilst i used my other arm to tighten the top locking nuts in the engine bay with a socket set!

was easy!

I had a look under the bonnet last night and i see there are a few small round markings round the strut covers. they looked to me as though they represented where i would want to be drilling if fitting a strut brace. Am i right?

Was thinking of getting the OMP upper strut brace. Will this go on with the standard airbox? I can only see from folks pics that they have induction kits on.
