I paid I think £50 for powerflex polybushes about 3 months ago.

Doddle to fit poly ones in, but a b!tch to get old genuine ones out.

Lots of swearing and strength needed to do the job.

I'd go powerflex poly bushes, way easier to fit and you can do it without removing the beam and without a press.

I did a how to on edition when I did mine

I don't agree with only buy genuine. A good brand like Febi will be the same as o.e (as there are a main supplier to vw)

and and always shop around, I buy from both the dealer and gsf as suprisingly sometimes the dealer is cheaper!
