MK5 Anti roll bar variations

[rich83]

Hi all.

Does anyone have info on which bars were fitted to which spec cars? Or are they all the same thickness throughout the whole range?

Is the GTI/ED30 roll bar thicker than one on say a 1.9TDI 105PS ??

Thank you
Rich

I believe them to all be the same apart from the Quattro rear bars being different from the front wheel drive cars.

I was looking up roll bars for Danish Jake in ETKA back along and there were dozens of different bars/specs from what i remember

That's me told! 

Need an etka screen shot showing if they are different thicknesses.

I would be amazed if the 1.9 and 1.6 used the same ARBs as the GTI alex. Any info welcome, as im trying to shift my OEM rear ARB to a fella with a 1.9 tdi.

Haha we posted at the same time, not directed at you mate  

I'll have another gander at ETKA

Ta freddy. 

Its the 1.9 105ps and GTI im looking for info on.

Can't get a bloody screen shot up for the life of me 

Ok so seems theres four different thickness rear bars

1K0 511 409 BN 18mm
                     BP 19mm
                     CA 20mm (from what i can gather this is the Gti bar)
                     CB 21mm

4motion also lists 19/20 & 21mm bars

Sorry Rich the info is sparse, Etka can be a bitch to understand sometimes. Can only assume that the diesels would be either 18 or 19mm bars

HTH

Great... thanks for that. Is that for rear?

 Yeah i used to have ETKA a while back and it can be tricky to interpret.

[fab5freddy]

Yep rear bars mate
