hi guys

recenctly had some knocking noises going over bumps and braking and i thought it was the bushes (again??) so went and got some replacement cupra parts
so today i had my service today and when the car was up in the air i noticed oil all over the cv boot/coilover on the passenger side, then found the same on the drivers!!

the damper has failed i run on FK Silverlines and have been for just over 12 months its just weird that they both went at the same time!

went through and checked and without taking them off i cant really say whats failed, bit its looking around the top seal, but its pissing oil everywhere

has anyone had any problems with their kits? and anyone any idea what warranty they carry also?

if not, its time for new stuff, what are you guys running now?!

ta for input!

if your running major low ride warranty will be voided too! get kw , weitech or ap coilies! sorry to hear it cos fks aint cheap!

i had the same problem with mine mate the insert was totally buggerd and its a 12month warranty with them i replaced the insert and it was 115.45 inc vat just for the insert so not cheap to fix them im afraid.

simon

apparently the FK warranty isnt worth the paper its on...

so looks like new ones for me! boooooo

so now what? KW, weitec

anyone running AP coilsovers?! i heard these were meant to be bang for their buck (bar the old ceasing adjuster but just keep that lubed up)

Cant fault the AP's mate! Had them on 2 months now i think and not had any problems, not creaks or cracks and comfortable ride Only down side i would say, the rear could go down further. i have the adjuster out and everything and still a slight touch too high. just being fussy tho!

have you a pic of your motor matey?

so i know how low it goes?!

taaaa very much!

my backs are fine though!! haha

that looks spot on kenny!

you say youve taken the adjuster out, have you taken the ring out, or the whole unit and just running the spring lol
