This is a picture of mine. Not the best picture but i've had no problems with shearing bolts, though just hope they're done up enough!!

did you have any issues removing the vac accumilator? where did you get yours from?

No issues with moving it really, apart from dropping one of the 10mm nuts down into the engine bay somewhere, so currently only being held on with 2. I also tried to do it from memory and removed all 3 bolts on both sides but then got the strut brace out and saw just 2 holes each side to attach it to the car!!

I bought mine off a member on here. Probably best to post something in the 'Wanted' section and keep checking out eBay. You could also google search it and see if any other forums have 1 for sale somewhere.

I've just googled for a guide and this came up:

I think there is one on here but some of the pictures aren't showing now.

Fitting of Seat Strut Brace to Skoda Fabia vRS

I have now fitted a Seat Sport strut brace to the front of the Skoda Fabia vRS. The fitting went as follows:-

Time taken = 30

Difficulty = Easy

Part no = 6L0071710

Parts purchased from = Any Seat dealer

Estimate parts cost = £49.98

Tools Required = 10mm spanner & 13mm spanner

Step by Step Instructions

Remove the vaccum accumilator (Black unit) which is held in with 3*10mm nuts, then gently ease this to the side. Then disconnect the plug that fits into the cooling system bottle.

Undo the 2 tops bolts and remove fully from the drivers side (Off Side). 2*13mm bolts.

Undo the 2 tops bolts and remove fully from the passenger side (Near Side). 2*13mm bolts.

Place the brace across the rear near the bulk head but remember to feed the cable under the brace otherwise the brace will not fit.

Replace the vaccum accumilator (Black unit) which is held in with 3*10mm nuts. Then reconnect the plug that fits into the cooling system bottle.

Thanks again.

I did think about keeping it black after seeing it wasn't too bad when it came but thought i'd go for something a little different as i hadn't seen the strut brace in silver before and spraying it in Skoda Diamond Silver i thought would make it look almost OEM.
