    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.

    Yes the fasteners must be replaced. From VW the bush comes as a complete bracket 3C0 199 231 D at £53.47 each.

    The mount is easy to remove but really you should use an alignment pin, VW tool T10096 so maintaining the suspension alignment.

    Thank-you Crasher for this helpful information. I found the T10096 pins at Laser tools but it is for a set of 4. This perhaps suggests that the whole subframe needs to be loosened when changing the bushes? Or are the bolts holding the console bush bracket the same ones that hold the subframe in place in that corner? Is the T10096 pin left in place when the job is finished or do you remove it? Thanks. I'm basically trying to make sure I don't get into a job I can't finish properly and trying to work out how difficult it is and what the bits will cost me. Do you know if the VW console bush price includes the replacement bolts?The VW dealer told me they have 2.2 hrs time chargeable for the job but rarely get it done in less than 3 hours.

    You need a set of four pins IF you are dropping the whole subframe down, only one for a single consul removal. You insert the T10096, tighten it up and then remove the other two bolts, the bush aligns itself in the consuls bolt hole which can be perfectly aligned with the thread or offset to a degree, this means that when you put the consul back, it is fitted in the same place as it was originally. The VAG price is consul only, it is not a kit. I can do one consul in less than an hour if using a new standard consul, removing a VW bush and fitting a Powerflex adds quite a lot of time cutting the old bush out but fitting the new Powerflex is very easy, the Superpro is a little more involved as it is steel sleeved.

    Thanks Crasher. Does your business also supply the T10096 pins? It seems I would only need 1 to do the bushes one side at a time. or I guess I could make one from an M12 bolt with the head suitably tapered and with a smaller hex welded on to screw it in?

    100mm length (under head) are 70Nm plus angle tighten a further 180 degrees. 110mm length (under head) are 70Nm plus angle tighten a further 90 degrees. These settings are for new bolts. Never use these settings on existing bolts as they would have already yielded when originally tightened.

    I have been replacing my console bushes on a Touran. one of the bolts sheared off. I gather the is quite common. Trying to remove the sub frame part that the bolt is in. All bolts out but it is moving but stuck. Do I have to jack up the suspension strut the release the sub frame (console)?
