Interesting, I did not know Bosch made them...much less as original equipment for VW.
My '87 and '84 GTI's as well as my brothers '86 GTI and '91 GLI all came from the factory with Boge's (non-gas). We have always used Boge turbo gas as a replacement. Don't kill yourself looking, but I would def be interested in a VW and/or Bosch part number on those if you ever run across the receipts.

I had a vw shop do the work. If you want bosch stock replacments, they are usually (granted, not always) rebuilt for cars parts those ages. Instead of getting rebuilt parts, they had ordered some other bosch suspention kit that is basically a refined version of what came stock on the cars. The shocks looked visually about the same /w the exception that there was no mistake that they were never in a car before (new), but the springs are shaped a little different, though, both have bosch stickers on them. Mechanics didnt like my 16" tires too much and recommended that suspention saying that it would smooth out the ride and the noise from the road. They were right. Ill see what i can do about getting some part numbers for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Hauptmann" <[email protected]> To: "'Adam Frank'" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 6:53 AM Subject: RE: [a2-16v-list] '91 GLi Photo > <<New Upgraded BOSCH Struts & Shocks>> > > I didn't know Bosch was in the damper business.
