You should have 55mm struts if yours is a 2.0tdi 140/170 bhp ...so they should go on ...it should also be marginally lower ..a gt is 15mm lower and I think a gti is 20mm lower but can't remember if the gti is any lower than a gti

Diesel engine weight may overload the springs?

There is virtually no difference on the front with either gti or tdi ..its only the rear that change and that's only if you have a jetta or wagon as there's are slightly uprated for heavier rear

would of thought the tdi springs were different due to the extra weight the engine
