quicky1980 0 Posted February 24, 2010 I recently bought some VW R32 bushes from VW. Asked the guy specifically for Golf R32 items and he came up with part number 1JO 407 181. Got them in my hands and expected them to be solid rubber, however they look alot like the standard VR6 shape, see pic. ie has gaps on either side Haws he ordered the wrong item number? Or have the wrong ones been supplied? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 24, 2010 Holy picture size!! :lol: Yep, R32/TT bushes are solid all the way round. I can't really see any gaps in that pic tbh... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V-Dubstar 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Yeh from what I can tell in your pix you have the 2 cut outs! I believe the right part no. is 8N0 407 181 B I got mine from http://www.fourseasontuning.com/?product=308# and they look fine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 24, 2010 That fits everything but the R32 :lol: You need 8N0407181B As fitted to the MK4 R32, MK1 TT, LCR etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Photo looks ok to me, but the part number I used for my mk4 R32 bushes was 8N0407181B Andy edit: beaten to it twice in 1 min! People are eager to help today lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quicky1980 0 Posted February 24, 2010 sorry about the sixe of the photo :lol: It sounds like he has ordered the worng part number then. Will try and get him to rectify this. So 8N0 407 181 B, can it be ordered from VW or is this an Audi specific item? Do I need a sleeve to fit it too? Heard that the ID is larger than the VR version. Any one know the part number for this if it is needed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 24, 2010 No - it's fitted to the R32 MK4 Golf and Seat so any dealer can order - they are around £8 each. they are M12 ID (same as the bolt) so fit without a sleeve, it's just a 5 min job with a press to get the old ones out and run these in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe when used with tt spec ones?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe when used with tt spec ones?? Sleeves are needed when using normal Corrado bushes (ID is something near 14mm), the R32 ones have an ID of around 12mm, and the bolts are M12 so no sleeve needed when using R32's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted February 24, 2010 that picture looks right to me. as far as I remember there is clear air in the (3?) gaps in the standard VR6 bushes - think of it as a 3 spoke wheel, whereas the ones in your picture do have thicker and thinner moulded areas, but are still solid all the way round - ie. no "spokes". hth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quicky1980 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Right, went to VW to sort this out The ones I have are 1JO 407 181 and do have gaps (don't appear too well on picture but trust me they are there) and are NOT R32 version. The 8N0 407 181 B are R32 specific (and tt , seat ..) so I've asked for these to replace. Unfortunately for me, they won't take the 1J0's back because I've had them so long (8months !) even though it was a mistake on VW's part. So will need to sell the 1JO's on. Cheers for all you help guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted February 24, 2010 ok, maybe my old ones were just so worn that they had clear air gaps in them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 24, 2010 ok, maybe my old ones were just so worn that they had clear air gaps in them! Well the original Corrado ones had bigger cut outs to the MK4 specific ones in the photo... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
