My Koni TA's have just arrived but one of the front shocks has leaked some fluid :( .Its on the stem and in the box.Its not really alot but its definately come from the shock.

Is it still ok to fit,or should I be looking to get a replacement :?:

I'd be sending the pair of them back fella. Might be nothing but you don't want to be doing the job twice. Or indeed paying for it to be done twice.

yeah as H100VWsays send them back......it'll save you a lot of hassle and they can't argue(not that they would likely tho)that its due to poor fitment etc

As well as a leaking front shock,the rears didn't have a fitting kit in the box,I knew this because it had been clearly hand written on the box,"No fitting kit" :lol:

The company involved are going to swap the whole kit,either tomorrow or Friday. :)

I can't blame the reseller as they say they came straight from Koni

Hmm alot of people having probs with Koni's at the moment....

 

I wonder if some of them are caused by the couriers not keeping the dampers 'upright' when in transport.

Does that mean I should watch out when I corner on two wheels then??? ;)

Hehe, yeah, you'll invalidate your warranty!

The box they came in meant they could be stood on one end or laid flat,the front struts faced in opposite directions.If stood on its end then this ties up with the leaker.I suggestedto the reseller they mark up the boxes "keep flat" or round the ends,but they said it just shouldn't leak(3 seals...blah,blah,blah).

If the new ones leak,they'll go back again!

I have recieved the replacements,all looks well. :)

I just need to order my bump stops and mounting kits and then dig a little deeper into my pocket to get them fitted. :shaking:
