Vec rear Shock Absorbers

[sjanisz]

Hi all
apologies if this has been covered previously, but I have a question.
A colleague has had one rear shock replaced under warranty on an 04 estate (mileage about 21k). I have always replaced them in pairs. Is this a new penny pinching initiative from VX or can you get away with it.

cheers

I hope not!!!

Manufacturers state that they should be replaced in axle pairs.. he should push them to change the other one as well...

As above mate, they wouldn't change 1 set of pads or 1 Discs, get himto go back and SHOUT loudly....

For the 'shout loudly' can i suggest your mate takes the 'armoured farmer's guide to successful persuation' course???? :flail: :flail:

Yep, go back and kick some behinds!!

I had a rear Irmscher shock develop a small leak earlier this year - got both sides replaced with no fuss. I raised the point (about whether Vx would do the pair) when it went in. They checked and said not a problem.

Sounds like a dealer saving a few quid to me.. ;) :D

Thanks everyone,
You have confirmed what I thought.
I have called my friend and he assures me that he will visit said dealer tommorow with both his Rotweilers in the back !

Cheers.
