Which Front Strut Size - 50 or 55mm???

[raystaggs]

Are all the 2.0 TDI cars one or the other?  or is it 4wd v Fwd - or just the VRS with the larger ones?

Iirc it was related to brake type on the mk2

Ok - so likely to be linked to BHP?  Mines the 150 TDI if that helps..?

Skoda say 49.6 - so 50 then!

 

£445.48 for the set of 4 shocks!

Bilstein it is then....

Not sure if this will be useful, but the shocks seems bit cheaper here, https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/skoda/octavia-5e3/58761/10221/shock-absorber (I have ordered front ones (sachs) with top mounts - mine is 150 - the order says it is dispatched).

Hi mate, just wondering whether your shocks arrived? I'm in the market for some after I got an advisory today after my car's major service. 

Bit of a PITA since it's only done 35.5k but hey ho!

 

TIA

Hi,

 

Yes, the shocks arrived within a week (ordered Friday and items arrived next Thursday). They have a verification step if it is the first order and I called them to go through this to make the order quicker. The items I ordered were below (as recommended by the website for 2015 2.0 TDI ) but the top strut mounting were not the right ones. I am still not able to find the right part number for this part but I think it could be 803 024. The garage (not the dealer) also got it wrong but now they have ordered from TPS at a much higher price. I hope it fits when they try tomorrow.
