Evening Guys

basically as the tite really, the bushes on mine has worn and are starting to 'creek' in the mornings or when i havent used the car for a while so looking at changing them, just wondering if there are any perticular ones better than others? which type of the proflex/superflex would be better to go for colour wise? and so on....

also ive disconnected my rear wiper motor from the washer bottle as it was leaking when used, is this a common thing? and is a new rear motor the only fix?

one last thing, with the trim on the dash around the radio and ashtray, is there any after market ones avaiable as the blue.sliver with black dot one looks a bit pants if im honest

Cheers Ross

Superpro, not the cheapest but worth the extra

The motors are a pain in the rear and always fail. A new or good secondhand one is OK.

What model do you have for ARB?

VRS (53 plate)

i have been looking around just not sure which to go for really

OE ones are fine, 17mm, sleeve needs to be removed & new brackets.

wheres the best place to get them from, do you have a link?

dealer or vw spares both do them

I'd second this. It's an easy job to do too, I did mine on the drive and it's been fine since, about 18 months ago now.

are these bushes the ones?

are the brackets refered to these ones that hold these bushes in place?

If your ever looking for genuine stuff, a trek down to Cardiff to TPS is what you need,

Ring first to save time though as most stock is over night
