VW Golf / Jetta / Audi A3 Rear Shock Absorber 1K0513029

Product overview

This new rear shock absorber is referenced to OE number 1K0513029, with variants 1K0513029FJ, 1K0513029FA and 1K0513029CE also listed. It is designed for Volkswagen group vehicles such as the Golf, Jetta and Audi A3, and helps restore ride comfort, body control and tyre contact where the existing dampers have worn out.

Shock absorbers control the movement of the springs, keeping the tyres in contact with the road. Typical signs of wear include excessive bouncing, body float over undulations, fluid leaking from the body, knocking noises and uneven tyre wear.

Vehicle compatibility

The listed fitment table runs to 200 entries and includes Volkswagen Golf VI and VII, Golf Sportsvan, Passat B6 and B8, Tiguan, Audi A1 and A3, Seat Leon and Altea, and Skoda Octavia II and III. However, the same table also lists older and unrelated platforms such as Passat B5, Audi A4 B7 and Skoda Fabia I, which do not normally share this part. Because of these inconsistencies, fitment is partial.

Key features

• Supplied with mount, as listed in the listing attributes

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Choose the shock absorber type option when ordering. As suspension is safety-critical, professional installation is recommended. Replace shock absorbers in axle pairs for balanced handling, torque fixings to specification with the vehicle at ride height, and have a wheel alignment checked afterwards.

Inspect bump stops, dust boots and mounts while the suspension is apart.

Fitment checks before ordering

Suspension variants (standard, sport, heavy-duty) differ. Confirm your OE number and check by VIN before ordering.
