Rear beam rust Mk5 Ed30
chigmuss:
Hi guys,
Can anyone give me an idea on part numbers around the rear axle assembly.
I have looked with horror at the rust under the rear of the car, having replaced virtually everything at the front.
I’ve bought new discs, pads, stub axles, suspension, drop links etc. Even the big beam things the rear springs sit down into. I’m now looking at the saddle style rear subframe that bolts up.
I’ve found 2 part numbers (the stickers on mine have long since come off with the flaking paint)
1K0500045jp
But 1K0505315BA which is an A3 part looks identical and there are more of these in better Nick.
Anyone know if they’re compatible part numbers.
Thanks in advance. 🤞🏻

Well, I’ve taken a punt on this. Let’s see if it pays off 🤞🏻

sounds like you've been playing "car mechanic simulator" too much and got the bug for renewing/restoring everything :grin:
fair play, i'd like to do the same one day. i cant help with part numbers, personally i would have checked with TPS and only brought the part number for my car. But most of the chassis are the same or similar so hopefully it all works out perfect for you.

Id love to take the rear beam off my ed30 and refurbish everything.
You going to post pics up of how you get on ?

It's all thick chunky steel and nothing to worry about. Just flakey surface rust. Wire brush it off and coat with fluid film afterwards :happy2:
