Ordered some springs,back struts and a passenger side mirror from
hansdieselparts about a month ago, and just got around to trying to put them in. first I put I take a look at the "OEM" mirror, which is supposed to be heated, its not. I install it, then sit in the drivers seat to adjust it. its off by quite a bit and at such an angle, that if I was to use it on the highway, all I would be able to see is the car in lane next to me. So I pull off the mirror, swap it onto the old housing, I can deal with no heat, ut atleast I can see on my passenger side now.
Pulled my back struts yesterday and Went to install the new ones from hans(Prothe) and come to find, they're front struts, newer passat? springs also don' fit, the're tiny!
Now its too late to return them and I have $150 in chinese s-crap sitting in my garage and 4-5hours of time wasted.
I just wanted all you newbies and bargain-binners like myself to be aware of what your getting into when you buy from prothe/Hans
