{"product_id":"front-suspension-corner-kit-in-oe-supplier","title":"Front Suspension Corner Kit in OE Supplier","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne job done completely: one corner: wishbone, bush, drop link, top mount and bearing, which is what a knock on one side usually needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are an independent parts supplier. We are not Volkswagen, Audi, Seat or Skoda, and we are not appointed by any of them. Those are their trademarks and what we sell are parts that fit their cars. The useful thing about this group is that four badges share platforms and share parts, so the same component fits a Golf, an A3, a Leon and an Octavia and costs four different amounts at four different counters. We list it once, at one price, and tell you which platform it belongs to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification and fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Golf Mk5 Mk6 Mk7 Mk8, Passat B6 B7 B8, A3 8P 8V 8Y, A4 B8 B9, Leon 1P 5F KL, Octavia 1Z 5E NX, and the other group cars on the same platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatform: chosen above. This part is shared across the group. The Volkswagen, the Audi, the Seat and the Skoda all take it, it is the same component in four different boxes, and the price here is the same whichever badge is on your car. Choose your badge above for your records, not because it changes anything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: chosen above where the kit is engine specific. This group changes specification mid production and does it on a platform basis rather than a model year basis, so two cars registered the same week can take different parts. Send us the VIN with the order and we check the part against the build data before anything is dispatched. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 2003 to 2022 depending on platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: made by the firm that supplies the group, in that firm's own box rather than a dealer box. Same casting, same line, and on a group that shares parts across four brands this is where the saving actually is. Every part in the kit is the same tier, which matters more than the tier itself: a kit that mixes an OE pump with a budget tensioner fails at the budget part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: cross referenced to the group part number for your VIN and confirmed before dispatch. We do not print one number against a listing that covers several supersessions, because on this group the supersessions are the whole point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failure this addresses: one named job, done completely, rather than the part that was cheapest to diagnose. The contents are chosen from what actually gets disturbed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: ninety minutes to six hours depending on the kit, and the figure for yours is on this page rather than in a labour guide you cannot see\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoding: no coding, but the adaptation channels should be reset with a diagnostic system afterwards or the car keeps running on values it learned from the failed part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso needed: everything the job disturbs is in the box. There is no second order at four on a Sunday afternoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque: every figure the job needs is on the printed card, including the angles on the single use bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterval: the belt kit is a five year job, the DSG kit a forty thousand mile job and the Haldex kit a twenty thousand mile job. Those three intervals between them are most of what keeps one of these cars alive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 13.8 kilograms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy a kit rather than parts: the labour is most of what these jobs cost and the second visit is the expensive one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy a kit rather than the fitted package: because you are doing it yourself, which on a belt with the locking tools is entirely reasonable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaving: about 12 per cent against the same parts bought as lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTell us the mileage and the symptom and we will say honestly which of the three sizes of job is the right one, including when it is the cheapest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat arrives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eevery part listed in the kit name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eall seals, O rings, single use bolts and clips the job disturbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efluids where the job needs them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea printed card with torque figures and angles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elocking tools where the job cannot be done without them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNinety minutes to six hours. Everything the job disturbs is in the box, which is the point: the commonest reason one of these takes a weekend rather than an afternoon is a missing O ring on a Sunday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree of the kits on this page are the whole preventive maintenance argument for this group: the belt every five years, the DSG fluid every forty thousand miles and the Haldex fluid every twenty. None of the three is expensive, all three are skipped, and between them they decide whether one of these cars reaches 150,000 miles cheaply or expensively.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolfsburg Direct","offers":[{"title":"MQB, Golf 7 and 8, A3 8V and 8Y, Leon 5F and KL, Octavia 5E and NX","offer_id":59218668454236,"sku":"WBD-RPK-004-MQB","price":339.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"PQ35, Golf 5 and 6, A3 8P, Leon 1P, Octavia 1Z","offer_id":59218668487004,"sku":"WBD-RPK-004-PQ35","price":319.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"PQ46, Passat B6 and B7","offer_id":59218668519772,"sku":"WBD-RPK-004-PQ46","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/3791\/3692\/files\/Front_Suspension_Corner_Kit_in_OE_Supplier_f72fcb05-9d8e-4788-b126-c116e4b63e2d.jpg?v=1790166113","url":"https:\/\/wolfsburgdirect.com\/products\/front-suspension-corner-kit-in-oe-supplier","provider":"Wolfsburg Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
