Recently fitted B4 rears to my TDI, these were 19-106120 though ECP just delivered 19-109572 for the wife's TDI(sport). Anyone able to confirm if I have wrong shocks?
 
the first p/n is listed as being for various A2s ; the second p/n doesn't look like it is intended specifically for A2s but a whole bunch of other contemporary and more modern VAG cars (Polo 6N, Fabia etc) - ?many of which are PQ25-based? are listed as using it by Bilstein's own page. On paper then technically it appears not to be right, but as we've seen with the AMF / BHC argument on front suspension parts, sometimes these are false-negatives.

Yet to receive any useful help from ECP regarding the compatibility so have asked them to collect and ordered 4 B4s from spring-loaded.co.uk for a very reasonable £112ish(delivered). 19-106120 rear and 22-105813 front. Hopefully tighten the handling as wifes TDI Sport feels like a blamange compared to my TDI SE.
 
Same ones I just ordered from spring loaded , I guess it's the same set of b4s for the se and sport (mines an se ) guess only difference between se & sport is the spring then ?

Not quite, the bump stops on the sport are shorter. I think this is itemised in the definitive suspension thread. Don't know about SE v Sports springs but I imagine there are differences besides the allowance for original build weight.
