Featured Replies

Im due to pick my car up saturday. I want to know if I have these fitted if it effect your 3years warranty. Thanks

Not if you have it fitted by the dealer before you pick it up as it's classed as a dealer fit option so shouldn't affect the warranty.

Don't think you will need the part no.because they are an official Skoda accessory.

Just ask for the Eibach springs.

Just be sure that the car has not been through its PDI and they will fit the Springs and they are on the 3 year Warranty.

If they sell you the Springs and fit later they say thats 2 years Warranty on the Parts.

I asked these questions at my dealership a few weeks ago, you will have manufacturers warranty (eibach) on the springs themselves and warranty on the rest of the suspension items (none wearable) is covered with the car.

I asked then if I fitted the springs myself would I still retain the warranty and the answer was yes, unless skoda could prove that the parts were fitted incorrectly and as a result another part failed. He also said, it's difficult to fit the springs incorrectly, but quite easy to break something doing it, so if you tried to claim for something you damaged in the process of fitting the springs than obviously you would struggle with a claim. If you know what your doing then you shouldn't have a problem, if say in a year's time your abs failed and you claimed for it, skoda would have to prove that due to you fitting the springs yourself, it caused the component fail - skoda would struggle.

I fitted mine this weekend, picked them up from the dealership, 171 quid, and off I went. Took about 6 hours to do the front and an hour to do the back. This including getting the car off the ground and wheel off.

If your not up for diy, then don't pay skoda to fit them (unless you do it before you get the car) as they guoted me nearly 500 quid to supply and fit. Get them done at a decent garage who don't charge 90pph labour.

IMO BTW
