can someone in the know find me the correct part number for Fabia VRS front ARB bushes , got some today and a new ARB , but the bush seems to be very tight on the bar , there is at least 6 different part numbers for the bushes on VAGCAT , i've got 6Q0 411 314 N , the VRS ARB is 20mm in diameter if that helps

anybody , please , as i don't want to drop all the subframe down , only to find the bush is too small

Seeing as no one else is offering advice, I will give you my thoughts! From ETOS, it looks like when the bars were modified - changing the plastic collar to a metal one, the area were this bush sits on the bar was reduced down in size to the actual bar diameter - it would have been larger originally due to the presence of the plastic collar and its associated "tail". When I got bits to change the bar on my wife's Polo I was left a bit confused by what I was given when comparing it to the ETOS listing - but the ETOS listing, just like EKTA was trying to deal with the situation where only the bushes were being replaced - ie the original bar had not yet failed, as well as dealing with the bar being replaced so now another p/n'd bush was to be used. I seem to remember that it looked like some previous p/ns for smaller? original "bar bushes" were being used. That now ties in with what I think happened. Does that look a bit like what you have found from your VAGCAT?

Not sure, I just order the bars 'complete' with bushes and clamps.

the Skoda dealer never gave me the option of buying a complete bar/bush assembly even though i did mention it

from what i can tell from looking at VAGCAT i have the correct bushes , P/N 6Q0 411 314 N

it says use this bush P/N with the ARB for engine code ASZ , it just sems very tight on the ARB , hence my concern

i will find out for sure when i fit the parts next weekend

They usually list bar complete on ETKA after the bars on thier own.
