Title: Boot pop kit????
Post by: kam on January 08, 2013, 01:21:13 pm: Hi guys missed this boot pop kit that was sold my another member below are the parts required question is will I need any other parts apart from coding , how easy is it to fit and where does the rubber bump stop( buffer) fit??

OEM Auto boot pop kit consisting of:
6Y0 827 550 C – GAS STRUT (Gas struts strong ones to give lift on boot pop)
1J6 827 439 A – BALL PIN (To replace the old ball pin (that the strut clips on to)
1K8 827 761 C – BUFFER

Thanks for any input.

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.

Did you call dealers direct or buy online if so where's best to go ? I found the struts easy enough but the rest I cannot seem to find online ?

Post by: MC71 on January 20, 2013, 04:07:20 pm: ^^^^ You can get the pins and stops from TPS, the VW dealer or even from the Skoda parts seller on eBay where a few peeps have bought the struts from.

This mod seems not to work very well in the cold... When it is below freezing I can never get the hood to open all the way when first opening it...

What is the difference between D and C?

Post by: MC71 on January 20, 2013, 04:57:58 pm: ^^^^ no idea on the difference between the C or D Bump Stops but when I last looked on ETKA for someone it says D has replaced C. Mine are C and work a treat (in the warmer weather).

Post by: M7RVX on January 23, 2013, 07:02:50 pm: Other than the parts above and hopefully finding someone to run vag-com close to me on it would I need anything else to achieve a boot pop ? I've heard convenience controls needed or is this only on rare occasions ?

Thanks
