I know this should be obvious, but I've not stripped a Golf before-do the front struts come off as one unit as most cars do, or do the springs need compressing first? I can't tell from the top mounting if it stays attached to the body when the top nut is undone. Same with the rears, one unit then remove the coil spring when it's off the car?
TIA guys, if it was a BMW I'd be able to tell you what to do!
