Hi

I've an 2016 A4 b9 Avant which I've just purchased

Rear bushes look perished..images attached for comments.

Has anyone else come across this issue?

Is it expensive to fix?

How thick should the bushes be?

 

Cheers

One on mine looks like that. It was mentioned on MOT last year (before o bought it). Wasn't mentioned this year.

I have to say, the other side does look significantly more robust. Garage said it's ok. Just for context; I've been going there for years and trust their judgement.

I'll take some photos and post for reference.

I think they are spring mounts/pads too. Audi sent me a similar image when I last serviced my B9 and the suggested the cost around £750 for both... I haven't done anything with them yet, and I it was a year ago. MOT haven't mentioned anything about them.

I had the same problem at my last mot, o/s/r was

breaking up. I had it replaced by an independent

audi garage for £176.

in my opinion, audi dealer prices have now become

extortionate.

it would appear that it's not all doom & gloom at audi, my brother has a

a4 allroad b9 2017, a broken n/s/r spring was found when in for service last week,

audi are going to replace it under warranty.  he is covered by (audi all in)

cost £600. good news indeed.

Thanks Brian,

So would the job normally have cost him £600, or did the warranty cost him that amount? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

audi quoted him £600. initially, and said it may be

covered by the warranty, which it was, so a vast

saving.   (one happy brother)

kind regards

Brian.

Got same problem on my 2016 66k Tdi sline 190

the mounts today are £17.44 each from Audi in stock too but a spring is £117

so will get an upcycled one 

the parts man couldn’t say if the spring was different between se and s line 

 but will look for an s line one
