Nope, the Octavia uses a transverse mounted engine. Replace "A4" with
"TT", and you're right. Suspension components etc. made for the TT
bolts right up on the Octavia.

Wouldn't it be a problem to get the car titled in the US when it's not
sold there officially and crash tested, emissions tested etc.?
