Afternoon All I'm planning to replace the rear springs and shock absorbers on my 2011 VRS TDI estate as it's sagging and bottoming out very easily. It looks relatively simple to do, although I am sure i'll complicate it... ! I'm planning to replace both springs, shocks and bump stops at the same time... is this over the top? Is it worth dismantling and inspecting everything or better to do the whole lot at the same time? What's really confusing me is the part numbers for the new bits... GSF have two different shock absorbers listed, and 2 different springs... I don't want to dismantle the car to find that I haven't got the right bits to put it back together! Any advice welcome! Cheers, John

Thanks all. I've not managed to make any progress with what sort it is, doesn't seem to have any markings! Looks like I'm buying a new complete kit. Thanks John

Thanks

Hi I've just bought a Octavia VRS estate and love it! It's got a tow ball mounting bracket, but no tow ball... the wiring socket is also cable tied up above the bumper. Does anybody know what sort of tow hitch will fit this, or who it's manufactured by? It doesn't look like the standard Skoda part... (Hopefully the link the photo will work...)
