New sachs front shocks fitted as old ones failed the NCT test here in Ireland.
What a difference brand new ones vs leaking old ones. I drive this short stretch of road everyday that doesn’t have potholes but does have all these weird short dips and humps that was simply awful before…car would dive in to the dips and then hit the bump stops on the humps, very uncomfortable especially for passengers.
No longer, it’s actually nice to drive it as car is much flatter and doesn’t ‘wallow’. Haven’t tested doing hard turns yet, but overall so happy now, car is actually comfortable.
Note, I have 1.6 tdi lowered on eibach pro springs, needed 50mm sachs shocks part no. 560277. Car on 93000 km
