Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi guys, just received my parts from sunset to complete my rebuild, my car is an o3 c4s i

POST 2Original post

Seb, I just looked them up and the ones that you received appear to be the right ones for a C4 and C4S from 1999 to 2004. You should have part numbers 996-343-015-04-M100 and 996-343-016-04-M100. I am not sure how C2 mounts made it onto the car, but that seems wrong. Do you know if someone replaced the struts before. I would personally mount the factory correct parts and not replicate what was on the car before - who knows what the PO did.

Yes, Yes and Yes ^^^^C2 suspension parts don't belong on a C4 (S).

POST 4Original post

The C4 front mounts have a bearing as part of the assembly, the C2 mounts don't. If you have a C4 you need the bearings.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

the major difference i see from the 2 top mounts is one of them as an angle and not the other... i have another problem my new front bilstein struts that i just received dont have the lower plate to support the spring, what the ****???
