parts/work needed for MOT :( 2.5 AEL A6 quattro avant c4)

[MGaz]

worn inside of 1 front tire, broken front spring (didn't think it felt right, wondered in road and was bouncy) , leaking front shock absorber, hole in rear cv boot, worn rear bushes, and blowing exhaust. mint


I don't yet know the extent of the exhaust leak, or where it is, but how much for a Stainless Steel / up rated replacement ?

another set of tires i have .. so that's ok.

how much are springs and shocks? should i upgrade rather than replace with standard? (cost wise)

i'm not sure what bushes are worn on the back , i only just got off the phone to the guy at the garage.


Any idea what all this is going to cost me? and should I replace with better/uprated items? rather than be charged for bog standard stuff?

rear 'bushes' may well be the expensive part of this but you need to find out which are knackered.The outer bush on the rear tie rods are a common fail certainly on ones i have mot'd,i usually have some good used ones laying around so never had to buy new,and i believe they are not cheap.

you could get a full stainless made for it for less than £300 and they sound well
