Thanks, buddy. That's exactly the kinda stuff I need.

There's a chance the eBay description was written incorrectly. But Ive contacted the seller with a cancel request. Hopefully it goes through and I'll reorder with the part numbers you cited.

poo.

Then the set I ordered has the correct rear shocks but not the correct front ones...

Least now I know the part numbers.

Cheers buddy. I'll get it sorted.

Thanks for the response, Gaz.

The VIN plate says "AWX 1897" and I know the car is 130BHP.

Is this what you mean by "AWX 130"?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the response.

Clearly I need guidance, which is why I'm here.

How does one ascertain the engine code and power of their car?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the help. But some that is over my head I can tell you this: 2004 Highline Estate 1.9 TDI (red eye) I'd imagine it's a standard suspension. I certainly don't want a sports suspension. Not sure were to get information on power or engine code. Perhaps you could lend some advice on how to ge...

Thanks for the info. I bought a full set for £160. I wasn't sure about the different types though. I bought a set that was described as suitable 3BG. Which my chassis plate has on it. But my question is are all the shocks the same for any 2004 Passat? I know there are some differences between B5s an...

Thanks for the reply. Is this a Bilstein B4? And is it a good price? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-BILSTEIN-SHOCK-ABSORBER-GAS-REAR-AUDI-A6-4B-C5-97-05/372129532673?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D52945%26meid%3D680379f0d1a04930b10b7f06524212da%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3...

I'm getting a "soooooosh" sound from the back left shock when I go over speed bumps. The same sound one hears from the boot hydraulic when the boot is opened. I'm guessing this is a bolloxed shock, right? I'm going to order a couple tomorrow, am I right that they have to be done in pairs? ...

This should shed some light on it.

I read on another forum that it needs to be driven for a bit in order to heat seal.

One of the three fixed bolts used to secure the engine cover is missing on my Passat. Any ideas on how I could attach something in there that the nut could be screwed to? Or do you think it would be possible to tap and die a new thread into it? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180422/c6f1c3d0edab8...
