Fitment questions
Does the Volkswagen Caddy actually have a bonnet strut, or does it use a bonnet stay rod?
The Volkswagen Caddy uses a simple mechanical stay rod (prop rod) to hold the bonnet open rather than a gas-filled bonnet strut, so a 'bonnet strut' as a separate purchasable part does not exist on this model. If your bonnet is not staying up, the part you are most likely looking for is the bonnet stay rod and its mounting clip or retaining grommet. Ask your breaker specifically for the bonnet stay rod for your generation of Caddy.
My Caddy bonnet won't stay up - what part do I actually need to search for?
Because the Caddy relies on a manual prop rod rather than a gas strut, the correct search term is 'bonnet stay rod' or 'bonnet prop rod' for your vehicle. The rod itself, its rubber grommet, and the clip that holds it to the bonnet or inner wing are all commonly available from breakers. Searching for 'bonnet strut' is unlikely to return the right results for this model.
Will a bonnet stay rod from a pre-facelift Caddy Mk3 (2015-2020) fit my post-facelift Mk3 (2020 onwards)?
The Caddy Mk3 ran from 2015 with a facelift arriving around 2020, and while the bonnet stay rod is a simple mechanical part, the bonnet panel itself did change at the facelift boundary, which may affect the rod's length and mounting points. You should confirm with the breaker that the rod from the specific year they are dismantling matches your registration before purchasing. Never assume fitment across a facelift without checking.
Does the trim level affect which bonnet stay rod I need - for example, does a Caddy Life or Caddy Maxi need a different one?
Trim level does not affect the bonnet stay rod on the Caddy - parts like Life, Maxi, or C20 refer to equipment levels or body lengths, but the front-end structure and bonnet mechanism are shared across the range within a generation. Generation and facelift period are what matter, not whether your van is a standard or long-wheelbase version. Confirm the model year with your breaker and you should be fine regardless of trim.
I have a Caddy Mk4 (2021 onwards) - can I use a stay rod from an older Mk3?
The Mk4 Caddy launched in 2021 on a completely new platform and the bonnet design is different to the Mk3, so parts from the Mk3 generation are very unlikely to be compatible. Always source a bonnet stay rod from a Mk4 breaker vehicle to be safe, and confirm fitment against your registration with the breaker before buying. Mixing parts across generations is not recommended for this type of part.
