Planning on changing to a 245 estate from my TDI elegance estate. Have a few bits that I'd like to carry over:

 

1) Pedal box. Pretty confident this will swap over with the related reset.

2) Wind deflectors. Are the windows the same size/shape from pfl to FL? Ie. Will they fit?

3) I have both shape dogbone inserts as I didn't know which to get. Will one of them fit the 245 or are the petrol variants a different design to tdi?

4) prokit springs. I have this set ( E10-79-010-04-22 ). A site I found says they fit a vrs TDI and a 2.0 TSI. No info offered for vrs tsi. Would they fit? I still have the original springs off the TDI so could put them back on and use the prokit setup on a 245 if correct fitment.

5) similar to 2). Carshades blinds. Same window size/shape?

 

Could be a few weeks/months till I'm ready to buy so just wanting to get ready. Will start to strip the bits off the old car in the next few weeks.

Can't see any reason for Skoda to have changed anything major like size/shape of the windows,  twas only a face lift FFS. So, the blinds & deflectors should be fine

 

The Pedalbox I know works

The used dogbone will now be misshaped

The springs are probably OK for the front but, the rear track of the fl is 38mm wider so, this may cause an issue 

Thanks TMWNA. Mostly as expected then.

The insert it a poly one. Do they still deform like the ali/steel ones? I know the recommended tdi poly inserts are a different hardness to petrol versions but couldn't remember if they were softer or harder. I'll look them up and see what it says.

 

So springs might not work. Probably better to get the correct kit from the start.

 

Many thanks.

Hmmmm, gotta guess the tdi poly insert will be softer, I've got the motorsport 034 ali on my 245, wound up it as tight as it would so I KNOW its moulded, it settled down very quickly noise/vibration wise.

 

Yep new springs might be best, always the most expensive bit that won't workout for you, sods law

Softer would be my guess too.

 

At least I have the option of selling the car standard, lowered or with both sets.
