Thanks to Xav yesterday for a tour of the Tesla after he helped me with some VCDS coding. Its a pretty special car and ludicrous mode is something else!! It took me part of the drive home for the blood to return to the front of my head after feeling what 0-60 mph in less than 3secs feels like!!

Rear Suspension Bush Replacement
johnnyj replied to johnnyj's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I took my mechanics word for it, but I was surprised too. He's normally pretty good do generally tend to take his word for it, but I'll do some digging. Cheers. -
Hi all, For some time now I've had some issues with the rear suspension due to worn bushes. After a visit to the garage it seems most of them are worn and could do with replacing, but it appears that you can't buy OEM bushes from VAG, you need to replace the entire arm and doing the whole job would cost ~£800. A pretty big price tag for a set of worn bushes. So I've done a bit of research and it appears that uprated bushes are an option, but having heard of people have issues with them constantly squeaking and needing lubrication I was hoping there was an OEM alternative. Has anyone heard of an OEM set of rear suspension bushes available separately? Thanks in advance.

It's from an Octavia Vrs Mk1. As it says in the post it isn't in current working order, but could be repaired hence it being free. Cheers
