Part numbers are fine for the boot pop.
From something I posted the other day.........
I'd add the boot pop mod' to your car. Not only is it very cool but also (the main point for you) it adds much larger Pump Stops (these are also sprung) which will more than take up any play in the boot as they are adjustable. You could always just get the stops alone, swap them out and job done, takes about 2 minutes.
Boot Pop Kit Part Numbers
2x Skoda Fabia Gas Struts 6Y0 827 550 C £35.98 inc Vat for the pair
2x Scirocco (sprung) Pump stops 1K8 827 761 D. £9.89 inc Vat for the pair. Bits that you need most!
2x Seat Leon Ball pins 1J6 827 439 A £11.97 inc Vat for the pair.
A "How to" guide on fitting the Boot Pop Kit (includes fitting bump stops).......

If you go for the Boot Pop it will need coding via VCDS afterwards to allow the mod' to work.
Hope this helps

Ah good point there! the ebay skoda guys does the Seat pins for £10.99 now btw... not a big diff but worth noting. However, I've not yet received either from him.. will have to check back with him soon.

Little bit off topic....does anyone know if you can replace the inside door handles / grips, when i bought the car they were a little bit scuffed and marked. Just wanted to know if anyone knew or can find out the part code for drivers and passengers side. Thanks Guys

3 or 5 door?
They are available from eBay and from the VW Main dealers.
eBay are more expensive but it saves leaving the comfort of the sofa. Loads of different part numbers as different colours are available. Try these ones, if they are not the right ones then PM and I will look through ETKA later for you and give you the correct part numbers, saves spamming this thread.

I got mine from eBay. Not the cheapest but i found them to be a much better fit in the space and far superior quality than the previous ones I had purchased.

RS4 FPRV :happy2:
Yes mate. It cured my flat spot at around 5200-400 revs.

Here's mine-
1) K&N Panel filter - much better throttle response and around 5bhp :happy2:
2) Pre-cat removal - improved turbo spool, more turbo noise and a further 6bhp.
3) gloss black front badge - sets the front off nicely
:wink:
-
Boot pop - can anyone confirm if you can get all required parts directly from VW?.
i'm sure i read somewhere before you can get them from VW direct.
-
^^^^ I have found in the past that VW are unable or unwilling to get Skoda parts. I got the Seat pins and Scirocco stops from VW and the Struts from Skoda. Or try TPS for the lot.
:happy2:
-
ah yes a good few there i had forgotten about :congrats:
of course free mods as well like removing the inner arch screw and removing the clutch bleeder block maybe.
how much are the R8 oil and coolant caps they over £50.00?
Did not realise the boot pop mod was in this kinda bracket, thought was relatively expensive for some reason :chicken:
-

As above, that's the guy! If you message them saying Chrisr763 asked for the correct part numbers then you might get lucky :)
It came to around £65 with them. Other company's do the struts cheaper then chuck on massive postage
-
i found them cheap here
http://www.theskodashop.co.uk/product/Boot_Strut_(Hatchback_Fabia_00%3E07)_6Y0827550C
but delivery is £9 ! whaaaaaat?
-
Just called VW and they said the DV for my car (not ed 30 - 06 plate DSG) is Revision G (06F145710G) DV: Part: £38.84 & the labour is £105.60 :laugh: - Is it hard to fit yourself or??
-
It's not hard, just a bit fiddly. You'll need to get the car on axle stands or ramps and work from underneath. Worth it to save £105.60 - that's crazy!
-
I'f you have basic mechanical knowledge it's not too bad.. It's getting to it that's the hardest part. Luckily a friend of mine who's a mechanic checked mine for free, he got it on the ramp though, took him about 15mins but was still a bit faffy on the ramp.
£105 Is ridiculous. If you're not confident on doing it yourself, I'm sure a specialist garage would do it for a hell of a lot cheaper than that :happy2:

I normally just get stuff sent to my work in Dyce if i have issues but as I'm getting my exhaust sent there I don't want to get another box arriving as the store man gets moody when I get too much stuff sent and he won't be happy after the exhaust arrives

Seems to have upped the price slightly to £68, probably cause he's is getting more requests.

Dsgwagen on Ebay will help with the strut parts,send a list via messages.

It seems to be getting worse over the last couple of years as I never used to have issues like this
As I said before I can get stuff sent to my work but they ain't too happy about it

its all a lot of b@ll@cks mate, im as rural as you and have no problems, royal mail delivers everywhere, they cant be bothered telling their computers to charge more for that postcode as in their eyes it aint even worth the bother
