I simply wouldn't buy anything not quoted by the seller to be supported.
There goes my bubble
... thanks for keeping me sharp too look carefully into what im buying, but I have found my first estate with retrofit electro hatch for $699 @
https://www.autoease.com/ sure i can get i fot half@ alie
Update: i have cross referenced all connections for the sportsvan, mk7 and estate.
-the connection towards the locking mechanism/kessy looks te same and they are the same part numbers on sportsvan, mk7 and the estate.
-boot tailgate camera and locking mechanism on car and in boot, are the same part numbers.
-length differences of electric pole is max 1inch. Taken into account, the pole is electric and those Chinese, didn’t make it car specific, and at last, the electric latch lock, does the last work of closing.
Main concerns for buying a different kitt than car:
1:strength in Newton (estate)500 vs (sportsvan) 650 = difference of 150n
2: is the difference, of the connection of the original gas spring on the car. All other mqb tailgate boots, except, offcourse my estate, don’t have a hump, all other estates do have this hump..
based on different examples how those spring struts work and what to look for when replacing them:
1: length of strut 536mm (estate) vs 548mm(sportsvan)
2: thickness/diameter of strut 22mm (estate) vs 19mm (sportsvan) but i could also find replacement springs with 19mm for the estate...?
3: connection/screw of springs= VW
4: Newton
