vr6gordy...

What bolt snapped and what is the actual part you have bought off e-bay?

 

[vr6gordy]

8e0 505 311 t got this off ebay and the bolt i snapped holds the drop link

 

[jbcalvin]

Have no idea what that part number is?

I take it the bolt you snapped was one of the 2 that holds the bottom of the droplink to the hub carrier?

If so then I think all of the hub carriers are the same, sometimes the different letter suffixes are just later versions rather than a different part, but without etka I have no way of checking...

You could try phoning the dealer Monday to find out if it will fit....

According to ETKA....

8E0 505 311 T is for a B6 (2001-2005)
8E0 505 311 AF is for a B7 (2005-2008/9) @ ~£155

It does not say they are compatible or interchangeable - which ETKA would normally indicate under "Remarks".

B6:

B7:

been lookin at my car again today i got the part number wrong as it was dark when i looked plus i had no rag with me to .. so i wiped the part number clean and it 8E0 505 311 ac and did a bit more research into my car was made right on the part number cross over change

 

[vr6gordy]

well i got lucky today with drilling the bolt out took a bit of time to do but its now out and hole retaped plus got the right rubber mounts and brackets fitted to ..so much easyer when your mate has a ramp you can lend to do it all on

 

[jbcalvin]

Nice to hear you got this sorted, how's the handling with the new roll bar fitted :-D.....

the rear trail arms are real Tw4Ts to change, well it was on my 2.5, had to drop the fule tank just to get one of the bolts out that holds into the top end of the sub frame,
