    Does anybody know where I can get replacement shocks for a 06 Passat?
    I have tried the normal, fastfit, advance etc and nobody has them.
    Dont really want to go to dealer price for supply only is 305 ex VAT :mad:

    Not covered by warranty?

    Try www.otto.ie

    Have always found them great to deal with.

    Out of interest, how come they need replacing so soon? I had the same shocks on my old car for over 120k miles!

    Wont be covered by warranty afiak due to the nature of them - ie taking abuse constantly.

    They are not covered by warranty, exactly as you stated. I have 77K kms on it so I didnt really expact them to go......Drivers side rear is leaking, dont know if I hit a bad pothole or something, dont remember anything that could have damaged it :confused:

    At the risk of turning this into another VW-bitching thread...

    A guy I know had similar problems at similar mileage with his Bora. He has had a couple of VWs and thought this was part of normal wear-and-tear until he asked a few Toyota/Mazda/Honda owners!

    P.S. - he swears he'll break the VW habit with his next purchase...
