Hi all, my mk 1 04 1.9tdi Fabia estate is needing new shocks. Looking around I can get a pair of dampeners off eBay for about £16 and going up from there. (I'll look at coils separately, don't think I can do as DIY job without compresser.)

What's the best online place to get the shocks/dampers from, and what are a good make (not looking for high end performance, just a good reliable replacement set for the workhorse)?

Also does anybody know what the oem number would be? Local dealer not being helpful, just want the job.

Go with Bilstein or Sachs for reliable OEM quality, usually cheapest from Germany via ebay.
