Hello again folks. Never did sort out the dimmest of dim dipped headlights but now driving in Europe and having switched over to the right side dipping setting it's much better than the left side dipping as per the UK. Any thoughts there?

 

But to the point of this post, I noticed a wet rear shock so need to change the pair. 'Autodoc' keeps appearing as the the No.1 supplier here though I'm sure I can find others but my question is this:- Listed are the following, RIDEX, DACO, STATIM, STARK, JP GROUP, DENCKERMANN, KAMOKA & VAICO. Which make should I opt for or any other brand?

 

Following up this does my general loading/driving play a part in my choice, e.g. because the roads in the UK are, frankly, ****, I only use the supplied low profiles in Europe and I tow a trailer to and from France but when in either the UK or France I am rarely loaded and there are just two of us (bought the car because it's big enough for a good nights sleep)?

 

Thanking all you fine Skoda lovers in advance for your informed, useful input.

 

Shaun.

You probably need rear shock absorbers that are sold to replace OEM part number 3C0513049CP

 

Most of the shock absorbers in your list, aren't sold to replace OEM part number 3C0513049CP

 

Here's a list on autodoc that are sold to replace OEM part number 3C0513049CP

However, many of the brands have a one size fits all approach so might not be that close to the original 3C0513049CP rear shock absorbers.

The TRW shock absorbers are quite a bit cheaper than many of the big brand names such as Bilstein, Sachs, KYB, etc., and seem to be a good match to OEM part number 3C0513049CP.
