Can RS2 dampers be rebuilt?

[Golfboy666GTI]

Does anyone know if the factory (bilstein I believe) RS2 dampers can be rebuilt?
If not, does anyone know what replacements cost?

factory shocks for the rs2 are not bilstein.They are Boge and they are not servicable. They are actually easily damaged as well. You can buy bilstein replacements from bilstein dealers and those are servicable

OEM RS2 Boge are cheap & perfect for the car. Buy a new set

Thanks, can you suggest a good place to buy them from? I just had a Google and cant find them anywhere.

I think GSF (German Swedish and French) do them iirc

Or ask Pete at quattro corner

I heard that Euro Car Parts were sole importers now, not sure if it was gen info but may be worth a call to them?...I paid £85 per corner for the large diameter ones for my Avant and at that time they were running at about £125 retail 3 years ago.

I just jumped on the Euro Car Parts website, seems that they have Bilsteins for the front of the RS2 for £39.67. That seems like good value. Shame they dont have rears listed:

the OEM are not that cheap from what i remember... audi stealers have them quite expensive.It ended up being cheaper for me to go for bilsteins

Rears should be the same as for the A4 B5 chassis quattro...but check first.
