Can anyone advise on where we might obtain confirmation as to which make/model of dampers were installed onto our 2011 Sharan?

It has done 150,000 miles and as we plan to keep the car for a long time but it has become springy (one is leaking), we want to renew the two front dampers (and rears if necessary) and any worn bushes but want to ensure that the original make and type of dampers are used, rather than after-market ones which have different handling/ride characteristics.

We don't want to upgrade our motorised sofa to a sports car! Any ideas? Anted

If you want to keep it to original spec,then go to VW for the parts.Right parts first time with no ifs or buts.Best to keep it the way it came out the factory.
