Default 4.2 TDI - front suspension overhaul

afternoon,

I'm at that stage in my car's lifetime that I need to replace front suspension on both side hence was wondering could you provide us with any guidance on where to source parts and which make to go for?

in addition, could anyone share with us how to gain access to ETKA or any other similar parts catalogue to get the OEM part numbers?


cheers.

Hi Del,
The link took me to a webpage.
What do I do to download/use ETKA?
Cheers

You have to download the ZIP file. Within it there is a text file with the URL's where to download ETKA
