Finally got mine on tuesday and fitted it on thursday. Dino when you fitted your's did the wiper tray thing move upwards with the strut brace going a bit under it, like this?

Yes, doesn't harm it though.

Got mine today, will be fitting it tomorrow along with my MFD sat nav, which I also got today

It would have meant removing the ECU to fit it and I didn't want the hassle of doing that.



Do you have to get the Seat ones from a dealer or can you order one from VAG parts?

I'm concerned about that part too but I'm sure i read somewhere that you can just loosen it and fit the brace and that's not the ECU. i believe that's something to do with the air con.

this control unit is for the turbo boost pressure thats what it controls all engine ecus are in the same place

Goodjob Dino. Looks sexy and nice one for making the DIY guide. Should do alot of good when I do mine in the future hopefully

I plugged it in earlier just to see how it worked and it was really easy to do as long as you get the right bits

Ah right, got a little worried why it tucked in that much and buldged up, thought its just meant to touch the seal.

Took it for a spin once fitted and The only difference I've noticed is a very little improvement in traction and a little more stiffer than it already is. Other than that not much difference TBH. Probably because its decked on coils too

are you all fitting " upper and lower " strut braces as this is what i have on mine

I've only fitted an upper at the mo.

i would get the lower one too dino lots better on the coners

looks like i best invest in one of these
did you say you got it direct from Seat? ie. walk into a dealership, give the part number and they order it in? i didnt think they would have sold strut braces

Mine had to be ordered, but came next day but was the wrong one so had to be re-ordered which took two days as it was new year falling then.

If you order, make sure you confirm that your after the Ibiza 6L/2002- one. Even though I gave them the right part number they ordered the wrong one, and they didn't want to exchange it eventhough it was an error on their behalf!

I ordered mine over the phone, they called me a couple of days later to say it was in and I went and picked it up, simple
