Should I rip out my AHC? (1 Viewer)

[Kieron]

Hi all
I live in the UK and have a 2004 100 series 4.2 tdi
I have one leaking rear pipe to the top of my adjustable shock absorber
Do I
Change out that set of pipes and shocker ?
Change both sets of pipes and shockers at the rear?
Rip out AHC and fit old man emu ?

I only do shopping in car and roadwork,no towing, no off road
It’s in very good condition but is 20 years old
I regard it as a keeper

My heart says keep the AHC, my wallet says going forward forego ride quality for peace of mind and change over to Old Man Emu

Any advice welcome

Why changing the shock if only the pipe is leaking?

Why changing the shock if only the pipe is leaking?

I thought while in there working to replace the pipes it would be prudent to change the adjustable height shocker due to its age. I hasten to add I’m no mechanic

Shock is probably just fine. They are essentially hydraulic rams. Replace the line and motor on.

for the sake of a pipe keep the AHC

Get TechStream aswell so you can check the condition of your system.
