Re: 57mpg to 32mpg
I wouldnt rely on the dash readout. Not accurate in the slightest.

Re: Installing polybushes on 9N3 wishbones
you wont need any special tools to fit the powerflex bushes as youve already done the hard work by removing the standard bushes

Re: Installing polybushes on 9N3 wishbones
To remove the wishbone you only need to undo the front 18mm bolt and the 3 13mm bolts holding the balljoint on.
The wishbone can be removed. Youll need a ratchet strap to help refit the wishbone but its very easy.

Re: Installing polybushes on 9N3 wishbones
Oops. Id get yourself a powerflex set. Not cheap but you get a lifetime warranty and you know they will work.
Ive fitted them to various cars and they are the best option.

Re: Installing polybushes on 9N3 wishbones
I'd also advise against removing the whole console. Bolts have a habit of shearing and you will now need a proper 4 wheel alignment preferably using the vag tool for correctly locating the consoles.
The job is very easily done with consoles left of the car

Re: Installing polybushes on 9N3 wishbones
Buy cheap buy twice. Look like floflex bushes to me, the console bush is a p*** poor design and I'm sure they wouldn't stand the test of time.
