Octavia drop links - shared with any other vag cars?

VRSPhil · 28-10-2007, 19:38

Anyone know if a Mk1 vRS shares its drop links with anything else? Mine are quite tired, and I can get a discount from VW so would rather buy there than Skoda if possible. I was thinking the golf ones may be similar?

Thanks

Just make sure you get decent quality ones from GSF. My recent meeting with one of their brake pedal switches wasn't too favourable.

As for buying from VW just quote the part number and they'll let you know.

I don't think they share the same platform as any vw unless its the R32.

Audi S3 and TT ones are the same as the Octy VRS.

Is it 2wd or 4wd TT that is the same (ie droplink attaches to the bottom of the spring pan on the strut)?
