Hi guys,I have some knocking noise coming from the strut area on my diesel shitbox. I have some built up gti6 struts with dampers, springs and top mounts. Can I just bung these on the diesel? I imagine it should be the same, just not sure on ride height etc. Any advice/input appreciated  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

Yes you can, but it will ride quite a bit higher as the XUD is loads lighter than the GTi6 lump.Eibach -30mm GTi6 springs gave about the same ride height as normal on a dTurbo and yours is lighter again. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Joking aside is the XUD lump that much lighter than a 6 engine?? Id have thought it wouldve been the other way round?  ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

The gti6 engine and box weigh a ton AFAIK, its the heaviest engine out the lot. ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

I have eibachs and b4 dampers on the Dturbo and it's not noticeably different to the 6 that has identical setup. |
