Hey everyone, I went to the wreckers today and bought a few things of a mk4 gti they had there.

Just wondering if anyone knows any more details about the stuff we got today.
I know the coilovers are KW, but is there a way to tell if they're v1 or v2?
Also got the front and rear sway bars along with the strut brace, which will need holes drilled.
Can't seem to find anything on the Oettinger stuff though.

Thanks h100vw for the info :)
Well I tried looking the oettinger stuff up on their website and can't seem to find any strut or sway bars for any mk4 golfs, they dont l;ist suspension parts. Just wondering if they-re genuine etc. I can't seem to find any place that lists their products. Or a parts catalogue of theirs. Cheers

Iv got an old parts list of oettinger stuff.
Back in' 08 when I got it I was told most of the parts were no longer sold, so probably why you can't find much now 8 years on

Thanks Dylan8, Thats more than likely why. Just realised there is an oettinger Australia website, but its down for maintenance at the moment. Still sort of new to the whole euro scene. Not to sure on what brands etc are good. But the build quality looked really good so I bought it anyway haha. Thanks

MK4s have been out of production 12 years, I dont expect you'll find much at all online.

That Aussie Oettinger will be out for ages I reckon. I believe it was part of the APR empire that is no longer run by Guy Harding.

You picked up some rare and useful stuff I'd leave it at that.

Nice finds! Do you have a picture of the car you got the stuff from at the wreckers? If you do that could help figure out whether it was someone from this forum back in the day.

Thanks everyone, The car did have heaps of good stuff on it. Here's the ad from gumtree

It's actually at A-Twins Spare Parts (141 Gilba Rd, Girraween NSW 2145)
DAM GTI, I paid $600 for everything I got :).

It still had a Oettinger flashed ecu from what i've been told, red recaros.
Some other guy was there getting parts off it too, which he is also now selling on gumtree haha.

This is what he got off the car
