Hydraulic / Gass Bonnet lifters for Mk1 Octy?

Featured Replies

Just in the process of sorting everything out on my car, bonnet stay bracket has snapped so I need some bonnet lifters like on a Vectra, I've found some for the Fabia but not the octy.

Does anyone know of someone who sells them?

Thanks!

Ebay but you need to play about with the fitting of them!

Awesome sell the Milotec one's that bolt straight on (I have them on mine :D )

I have the eBay ones, they're OK but as said they need modifying (grinding or bending - take your pic!). The quality is not that hot to be honest, but they've lasted nearly a year on mine.

Fezboy, do the milotec items need any modifications? I'm tempted to replace mine :)

would the ones from a Seat Leon fit - just an idea

No the bolt straight on....but probably about 3 times the price that you paid for yours?

I think mine were about £75

£75!! Blimey.

Rallynuts.com do them I think - no idea on quality or fit though. I still want a set.

The Mk4 Golf ones are no good as the Golf has an extra bracket welded to the strut top to support them.

Maybe someone should organise a Group Buy?

;)

:sofahide:

Don't go there! :rofl:

Mmmm we have sold a couple of these now

Fezboy being the first that I have actually seen fitted

These are a SUPERB kit and did not take long to put on

I asked the technician who put it on and he said it was easy :D

The main problem is , I have asked about GB`s before on these , but our supplier will not let us do it under any surcumstances , sorry

I know the last one failed miserably and would not like to add to it

Sorry

They look like they are the same idea as the eBay ones, but sound much better quality. The only problem I had with mine was removing the bonnet torx bolt! I snapped two torx bits and bent a third trying to get the bugger out :eek:

Just how long do you guys anticipate being under the bonnet on your cars :(

Blimey, was looking at wacking one on mine (had golf mk4 before) but I can live without for that sorta dosh!

Thinking of fitting them on my Octy 1Vrs. With the size and weight of the bonnet do you fit 2 of them. Just thought with just one the bonnet might flex down on the opposite side.

Mind you I know naff all about them!!
