Mike, if you find some suitable winter wheel solution keep me informed 

[b9rgo1234]

I'll keep an eye open for you if your not in too much of a hurry for them  

Did you ever change your tailgate struts from the fabia's?
I bought a pair from StrutsDirect, 520nm the same size as the standard leon struts but they dont lift it.
i was going to try the fabias next.

You're kidding!  I sold the fabia struts and I was goin to order from struts direct on payday.
The fabia ones were fine but not long enough.

Can I ask if you're using the sirrocco bumpers as they give the initial 'push'

Cheers

Hi Mike, sorry for not getting back to you last night.
Yea I "borrowed" a set of rocco bumpers from a car at work. I might order a new set and see if they work.
I have bootlid spoiler on my car, which will add an extra bit weight. That might be part of the problem.

No probs.

Because the spoiler is next to the hinge I don't think it will effect it.

What adjustments did you make to the bumpers, I must say with Rocco bumpers only my boot 'popped' just enough to get your fingers under.  It made me think they had a fair bit of push.

Sorry to sound daft, I'm not trying to insult your intelligence at all but have you adjusted the coding with vcds?

Just want to be sure before I spend £50 on struts!

Thanks for the reply!

There is a hole in the middle of the bumper for an allen key, loosen the screw inside then fully compress it and retighten.
Yea I coded it with vagcom to fully unlock/open.
It only needs a little more kick when opening, maybe 5-10mm and it would lift itself. It works if I park one side on the kerb
