Recommended Posts

Just a quick question, whats the difference between 1.6 gti and 1.8 n/a diesel struts if any?

no droplink tab on the base model type struts, plus damper length and damping rate.

I assume the difference between diesel and turbo diesel struts are different then aswell, considering diesels use tu subframes and arms and turbo diesels use the same setup as a 1.6 gti?

That depends on the turbo diesel model you have because the STDT turbo diesel should have the GTI front suspension set up which should be fitted to the majority of the TD 205 but from experience it isn't always that way & some have the base model arb / wishbone & strut arrangement.

 

Only way to know what it has is to look at the car in question, if it has the GTI set up you can see the bottom of the droplink from in front of the car if you look underneath.
