Front shock leaking

[Ademaxx]

Anyone know what my options are? Is it possible to buy sports/rally suspension? Vw heritage want crazy money for a shock absorber. Any help would be great!

[Chris S]

At the front you can fit any Golf 2 2wd Shocker/spring assembly, its the rear thats the syncro only fitment.

[Ademaxx]

Won’t that make it lower Chris? I want to keep it as it is.

[Chris S]

Sorry, I forgot you have a Country I will see what I can find when I get home.

you need a Country front shocker. They were still available new fairly recently as i have a new pair on the front of mine- its the rears that are obsolete and silly money new

[Chris S]

I just checked at thr dealer & they were dropped without replacement in 2010 & there are non left anywhere in the world.

P/N was 191 413 037A

However through the wonders of VW Syncro.co.uk we have someone who rebuild your original ones for you []

Vw heritage have got some Chris, they cost £578 each!!!

[Chris S]

Thats a massive ripoff []
From VW they were less than 300 euros (about 230 Quid) each when last available in 2010

I have found somewhere online who do a pair for €700 euros. I’ll have to double check with heritage if that’s for one or two.

[Chris S]

I am sure Patrick would rebuild them for a lot less for you, even including postage its got to be cheaper!

[re2]

im sure my receipts from the previous owner had shocks at 160 each from the dealer!!! I can check the parts numbers on them if you like

[Chris S]

Part number 191 413 037A

[Ademaxx]

VW Heritage have confirmed it is £578 EACH!!! [:0][:0][:0] This is not good. Does anyone know what company actually made them? Bilstein or Monroe maybe?

[Ademaxx]

Can anyone else make sense of this? I can get ONE Shock absorber from VW (rip off) Heritage Classic parts for £578, or I can have TWO shock absorbers for 700 Euros from Mecatechnic, who appear to get the shocks from…….wait for it…….VW Classic Parts?!?!?! Here’s the link…..
