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!

I've heard many a story of FKs failing! Check the website, that should offer you some info on warranties, I'd imagine it would still be under one tho
