i did try it again the otherday but it was starting to bend the top of the cap.

Re: Replacing front dampers struggling
Had it in a vice and used some adjustable plumbers wrench but it does not want to budge.

Replacing front dampers struggling
Hi all
Trying to replace the front dampers on my mk2 scirocco but can't get them to budge.
Is there an easy way to unscrew them out and just to make sure they do unscrew anti clockwise.
Any help please.

Re: Front spring gone
Anyone know why you can't buy the front springs from places like eurocarparts they do the rears but not the fronts.

Re: Front spring gone
Seen a set of 3 spring compressors at machine mart for £30 there are cheaper ones on ebay but for safety sake I think they might be better.

Front spring gone
Hi all
I have just discovered that the drivers side front spring has snapped on my mk2 scirocco looking for a new one but it seems only vw heritage does front replacements is there anywhere else that do them and are they hard to replace.
Many thanks in advance
