Baz2004 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Been nearly 8 weeks now :roll: I’ve been there, I was wondering if they were all that slow at doing the job. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdubs 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Out of interest guys can I ask what failed on both of you Konigsports as I recently fitted mine (they took about 2 weeks to settle down properly) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Steve.. the inserts started to leak.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobyD 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Yeah, it was the rears that started to leak and didnt have any compression. Apparently dubsport have had 4-5 others go the same so dont deal with FK anymore... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.A.N.T. 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Mine has just failed the MOT on a leaking suspension strut on the konigsports. Cool, an 8 week wait... ( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebloggsVR69 0 Posted November 22, 2005 I'm just curious what you guys do when you find your struts are leaking, and you need to send 'em back - What do you do with your car in the mean time? :? Leave it on axle stands for a month or two!? Buy some cheapo temporary suspension bits? Hopefully I'll never have to find out, even though I've got FK's! :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icegeezer 0 Posted November 22, 2005 whats easiest way to see if they are leaking or not as ive had mine on for 3/4 weeks and im getting a knocking from the rear :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 0 Posted November 22, 2005 When one of my Koni's coilovers (rear strut) started leaking I reported it to the garage that fitted them within 2 weeks Koni sent me a brand new set of coilovers for free. This suited me as I had the coilovers for 3 years great service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
