UKPassats

It’s a Passat not an Aston, wasn’t exactly the pinnacle of handling before I swapped them over, just a little comfier now.

Will swap the fronts as soon I have the time.

Gents the car is back now and I’ve had the rear shocks and springs replaced, it may sound odd but it was so are at the rear that I went with standard springs and shocks. The car sits much better now only slightly higher at the rear and rides much more comfortably, it’s still not super soft but far b...

Thanks for all your replies,

The cars going back in tomorrow for new coil springs and shocks to renew the back end, I’ll post how I get on and if any improvement.

That’s great thanks David, I’ve found a place in London called Triscan that can supply two sport springs for around £75 all in, just a little cautious in case they’re telling me duff gen !

Thanks for your reply Dmitch, I’m going to take this to the dealer tomorrow and have them check it out as I’ve only just bought the car and have 3 months warranty, I’m sure it’s too hard even for a sport model, may even try the last owner and see if they can shed any light on it. I’ll try to get the...

Thanks highline,

The car does have a tow bar fitted so may well be the case, I’ll have to try and figure out which spring is on it .

Hello all, Newbie here so please excuse my ignorance.
