Fitting of Seat Strut Brace to Skoda Fabia vRS

I have now fitted a Seat Leon strut brace to the front of the Skoda Fabia vRS. The fitting went as follows:-

Time taken = 30
Difficulty = Easy
Part no = 6L0071710
Parts purchased from = Any Seat dealer
Estimate parts cost = £49.98
Tools Required = 10mm spanner & 13mm spanner

Step by Step Instructions

Remove the vaccum accumilator (Black unit) which is held in with 3*10mm nuts, then gently ease this to the side. Then disconnect the plug that fits into the cooling system bottle.

Undo the 2 tops bolts and remove fully from the drivers side (Off Side). 2*13mm bolts.

Undo the 2 tops bolts and remove fully from the passenger side (Near Side). 2*13mm bolts.

Place the brace across the rear near the bulk head but remember to feed the cable under the brace otherwise the brace will not fit.

Replace the vaccum accumilator (Black unit) which is held in with 3*10mm nuts. Then reconnect the plug that fits into the cooling system bottle.

I would welcome feedback via email from anyone running the Seat strut brace or the Forge or MOMO versions so that we can compare feedback.
