    I've noticed today that the shocks bottom bushes have small cracks in them. As i have Mag Ride shocks, can the bushes just be pressed out and replaced?
    If so can anyone give p/N an price.
    Thanks.

    Rears obviously.... You can't buy the bushes anywhere. The dampers were revised in mid 2008 (typically part number 8J0 513 025 F) and so require some conversion parts plus fixings and probably bump stops so it works out at around £330 a side in parts and a couple of hours labour.

    That is for new mag ride dampers, the revised versions, VAG are always changing things, there is a note in the TPI's about leaking dampers but that's all.
