Think they are referring to the Subframe bolts but can not see the vid either. These bolts are single use and can only be torque tightened once. You also have to be careful removing them as I've read of them snapping in the subframe and are then a pain to remove.
This is a link to an upgrade...
OE shocks and springs appear to be Sachs. (Well they were with my car) So just replaced like for like. Handles a lot better already but still need to replace rear arms but haven't got around to checking if any of the other parts need replacing as well.
On the front I have found a lot more info...
ECP sell generic shock absorbers. I had an issue with the cupra springs once and they were trying to sell me springs for a 1.4s claiming that they were compatiable. I'd rather make sure and get the correct part number for the car.
Was £150 for the pair anyway.
What is the anti-lift kit? Is...
I already have the springs as originally this was all I was going to change. However I now have on order front & rear shocks, top mounts, front bearing and arb struts, plus some screws and nuts.
Front shocks were a nightmare to source and have ended up getting them from main dealer.
The car was...
This website worked with the VIN number. Is coming up with the correct springs and appears to narrow parts down to the ones for my car :) May be useful for others

As I’d heard the front top mounts were a pig I hadn’t bothered to attack it with just the springs. Will be getting new top mounts and thrust bearing. May get a set of bolts as well as read some people snapped them.
At present with basically full suspension replacement including bottom arms and...
so looking at replacing the suspension on my 2.0tdi FR 2010. Cars done over 105k and having some ‘funnies’ to say the least with handling. Not 100% it’ll fix it but have front springs to replace and figured I may as well replace the other components.
Already have the springs as managed to...
It is that time of year where weak batteries start to fail.
Mine had a couple of occassions where it wouldn't start properly. Other times it was fine. Changed the battery shortly after that and been good for the last year and a bit.
Check the connections and grounding are all good
This appeared in a different sub section so probably why I missed it when looking for info to help my fault.
My problems have also began after a cam belt change but think it is fuel pump releated. This last week (due to the cold) I have noticed a small amount of smoke out the back when I boot...
I run the Dunlop wintersports which are OK. Was one of the few cars out in amongst the 4x4s when it snowed heavily. Only problem is I don't have the ground clearance that they do!
Best to pick a tyre with good wet ability first as all are better than a summer tyre when it comes to snow. Just...
so at low revs the noise is quite gruff almost like you would get in a petrol car when the exhaust had fell off! Around 1300-1500rpm. Noticed when engine is hot and at low speeds. Any higher speed and the wind/road noise seems to hide it.
Then on acceleration (under load) in the higher gears...
Had the garage that did the cambelt check this out. They were most helpful. (Garage is David Lees in Alcester if people need anything doing).
Anyway, they had a look and confirmed that the timing was all correct after the change. Sounds like there is not a lot that can go wrong with timing when...
I'm sure something like this happened to me when I had the door lock issues. Car was getting confused as to what state it should be in. I think I fixed it with the door locks themselves and having to reset the anti hijack setting.....
2.0TDi FR
Finally bit the bullet and had the cambelt and water pump changed about a month ago. Had an oil change at the same time so to keep things ticking over.
However since that I have noticed that the car seems noisier. More noticeable at low speed/ low revs. When it picks up its hard to...
