My 56 plate 2.0TDI Sport SE estate is just in for routine (oil and pollen filter) service at 64K miles. Call from dealer saying front console bushes are split and need replacing. Cost £450 incl VAT. I bought car used from this dealer in March 2010 with 33K miles on it and a one yeaer VW used vehicle warranty. Car has full VW service history so far but this is a lot of money to pay out. :-( I understand that the console bushes are relatively inexpensive compared to the fitted cost and reading other posts I see that Powerflex bushes are better. I am a reasonably competent mechanic with a pretty full range of tools. Questions: 1) How difficult it is to replace these bushes, 2) Where might I find instructions? 3) I have seen that disturbed nuts and bolts must be replaced - is this correct?
Thanks very much.
