Thanks for the previous answers, but how can I torque up the lower bolt with the car on ground? Do you even mean lower shock absorber bolt or what?

Would you find mister auto website trustworthy? They have option of giving your car reg here in Ireland and it automatically finds suitable items

Thanks. Tell me is it a necessity to use torque newton meter measures and all fancy things like angular torque wrenches, Or it can be really done like this guy did it

Thanks for a reply. I watched a yt tutorial on how to change it.. Looks simple enough. But if u notice on this video at 2:50 he gives notes on the ride heights of the vehicle. Do you know what hight is it for Octavias?

Thanks for a quick reply. Why would I need VW codes decoder? I am going to get alerts on my dashboard after changing shocks? Do I need to buy a computer to switch them off or what? I am still a noob in all this but I have a will to learn.

Hi all. Wannabe mechanics here. I started being interested in fixing my own car recently. I successfully did oil filter service, air filter and cabin as well only by watching youtube videos. Now I want to try myself in changing rear shock absorbers, but I am having issues of finding video tutorials on yt. Only found for octavia mk2 and mk1. So if anyone could tell which car has a same procedure so I can look for tutorial, or someone can send me a link i would appreciate it. Also, i need a recommendation for shock absorbers brand for which I should go. Car info: SKODA OCTAVIA ELEGANCE 1.6TDI 90HP 4DR GREY, 2015 Many thanks!!
