Gti6 axle on HDI? - LewisG - 08-03-2014
Bought a GTI6 axle yesterday, it came with discs but they've seen better days so they wont be staying on, I was just wondering is it a straight fit or what?

Same as a HDI Dturbo hatch beam. Compared to a HDI meridian estate it will be lower, stiffer ARB, slightly softer TBs.
Compared to a lower spec HDI estate I don't know.
Ps I have a GTI beam on mine. Thicker ARB is definitely an improvement as the back end does a lot less leaning. Problem for me is I tow a sheep trailer so with it being slightly lower and slightly softer it ends up a bit too low when I've got a couple of fat pregnant sheep pushing the tow bar down! So I want to raise it up and stiffen it up, going to ride like an empty van when the boot is empty though :S

Okay so it will just go straight on then? The handbrake looks different
RE: Gti6 axle on HDI? - Andy! - 08-03-2014
in what way?
Does it have some wierd load compensator on there? If so then get that off, you don;t need it.
I would swap over all your brakes (calipers, cables, discs, pads) onto the new beam. Also worth doing the beam mounts while you are at it if they are starting to split.
