You'll need 16v hubs aswell.

Mmm Tom Garret said they are a straight swap when I was round his. Dunno

hmmm thats wierd.....was this for new brakes on your motor??

I got told if GTI or G60 brakes are wanted, different hubs will be needed also.

If your engine code is:

PR1LB, 1LM, 1ZC, 1ZN, ALD, AUC, AKK, AKP, AUD, AEF, AGD, AKU, ASX, you need a new hub.

If your engine code is:

PR1ZE, 1ZJ, 1ZK, 1LX, AHW, AUA, APE, AFK, AUB, ARC, AMF or AVY, your hub will do the job.

Got this off ETKA.

So the 1.0, 1.4 8v, 1.7 Diesel (dont think they released them over here) and 1.9 Diesel wont work and new hubs are needed.

Whilst a 1.4 TDI, a 1.4 75bhp (16v), a 1.4 100bhp(16v), and a gti, will all accept the g60/vr6 carriers.
