Got the parts on order with the stealers will be in tomorrow. I have put the part numbers and prices if anyone needs to do theres.

6R0501541A  Bush  £18.82 each
N10106402    Nut   £0.71  each
N10409903    Bolt   £2.66  each

The dealers have changed the bush and been uprated from the standard one and has more rubber with less voids so hopefully better. Now find someone to fit it ...

I had mine bushes replaced about a year ago with the powerflex ones, by my usual garage. The originals had done 90,000 which I didn't think was too bad!

He'd never fitted these ones before but said they should last a lot longer than the standard VW ones that he normally uses.

The only downside I've noticed is that they're a little harder than the stock item but seems to hold the rear well when cornering. I suppose you can't have it all!  :cool:
