Title: Springs
Post by: zoomered on September 01, 2011, 08:13:34 pm

Just been informed by the garage ive got a rear spring away. 58k 05. It had a front away at the mot in May.

Anyone else had this? Anybody know how much oem rear springs are? Just gonna do them myself as the vw repairers wanted £369!! :sick:

rear springs are easy to fit its the front that take a little time. have you thought about getting some eibach springs ? whilst they need replacing?

Did think about lowering it a tad but then decided against is because of the cost of geometry check after?

Just had an advisory on SWMBO's SE that the rear springs are corroded and to keep an eye on them so have placed a wanted ad on here for some OE std ones for a 2004 1.9 TDi (PD105)
