8P S3 console bushes and B6 Passat wishbones: tight!
pudding:
Yup. Completely different console housings. They look the same at first glance, but when offering them up the car, you notice it.
breeze:
Ahh OK. :grin:
pudding:
I made that mistake years ago after reading on here that people have used them. Bought a pair, went to fit them to the car and.....oh. OK then, onto ebay with those then :grin:
The part number for the bush to press into GTI consoles is 8Z0 407 183, which aren't available from VAG, but Lemforder do them for about £14 each on AutoDoc :happy2: They will likely fit better than the Febi ones.
Freem82:
Sorry to be a thread highjacker, but I'm watching a couple of passat b6 2008 tdi front wishbones on ebay, are they compatible and would the complete s3 console bush in alloy housing fit on the stub ? This thread has thrown me a bit, that's all.
pudding:
The wishbones fit a GTI no problem, but you need 8Z0 407 183 pressed into standard GTI console housings if you want uprated, otherwise use standard consoles or aftermarket poly ones.
