Can you fit an upper strut brace to 1.4 16v or does the ecu get in the way? If not what else can I do?

You can fit a Seat Sport strut brace to your mark of polo mate. I know a couple of members on here have them (Sidaba, Dave Burton). Heres a pic of how it looks:

I'd like to hear that same comment from a 1.4 75PS petrol engined car, and preferably from someone that had that brace shown in stig247's posting - and which brace was that please?

The seat sport one will fit all PETROL engined 9n/9n3's apart from the FSI model (86 PS)

I've got a seat sport one on my 1.2 9n, fitted with no problems and imo it made the car feel alot better.

I have a Seat Sport Strut brace on my 9n.
You can get it from SEAT, they cost £49.95 or something.
Its the strut that fits the Ibiza 2002 onwards.
Iv had mine on for 2weeks or so, I have coilovers also and I think its great, I felt that I am whizzing around corners more efficiently, I think thats a combination of both items?
Doesnt rattle as much but the front end deffinately feels more stable when am driving.

bargain at that price really
might invest in one as it might stop the annoying squeeking and rattling

I got mine from a member on here but u can get them from seat
It did help my front end stiffen up and the corners are amazing makes the car more stable IMHO
