Ordered and delivery today. Can't argue. Indi is being good about it too. Sounded like genuine surprise their parts supplier was significantly more expensive. Booked in and saved circa £400 on parts! *inserting a thank you Jamie and Cat.

Great tip. I was cheeky and shared a referral code with... myself. 10% and already saving £400 on the indie quote.

That was my thought and desire. Any ideas on one to choose for VW?

How reliable is Autodoc on right part numbers? The company I use for service and repairs, who failed the MOT, have come back with £630 for two front Monroe shock absorbers and seemed surprised their supplier (when taking off the extra fat on top...) isn't as cheap as Autodoc (which shoes £115...

Ta gents.

Do they have a good reputation for aftermarket? Never heard of the brand. Yes, im sure you’re right re Golf, Leon etc fitment.

Would anyone know the best OEM-standard, aftermarket replacement for Passat B8 front shock absorbers? The car has dynamic chassis control so would require electronic dampers.

From what I've read, it appears to be a K series type concern - i.e. similar engine in a different application ( K series was a small capacity/powered engine fitted to a heavier car like a Freelander). There is a design difference (unsure what specifically) between the CUAA engines in the...

I've kindly inherited a VW Passat BiTD estate from my father. He's damned if he'll trade in with Volvo for half its value and doesn't want to deal with Joe Public... 16 plate, 80k miles (50% covered in the last three years as he drives NW to SW a lot for a few building projects). It's a mega...

If they're not in bad nick, yes - it'll give a good "as new" finish. But it's not a product that will bring greyed plastic back to black. It's a sealant not a dye.

Remember it doesn't go a huge way to making the plastics black again. It seals them. How grey are they?

Which one are you using?

It'll likely damage if not remove the ceramic coat.
