kaiserVR6 0 Posted April 4, 2008 failed and three advisories! Near side steering rack gaitor needs replacing, Off side rear bonded bush has failed, new required advisory near side headlamp not at full power. near side rear bended bush may be at risk due to off side fail small ding in one alloy - didnt think that would be an advisory! never mind shouldnt be too expensive!

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 4, 2008 Are they talking about the rear axle bushes or the rear wishbone bushes? I'd contest it. MOT testers always fail VW bushes just because a bit if rubber is peeling away from the steel shroud. They all go like that, but are actually still solidly bonded where it matters. You can see clear as day when the bush has actually failed completely (i.e. split!) and the suspension geometry will be all to c0ck to go with it. They usually fail Mk2s/Corrados on the rear brakes too...and rusted brake lines....which aren't actually rusted through, but just a bit of surface corrosion.
