The strut top is different, mk5 has two holes whereas the 6 has three, i'm not sure on the spring cup i would imagine its the same but... the i4 engine is a heavy lump, you don't say what the van engine is but the spring rate could be all wrong

hmm.. i'm not gonna say they will defo fit but i spose its worth a try its not that long a job to change the springs alone you'll just have to see what the ride height turns out like, diesel lumps are quite heavy in relation aswell.
