Bosch europart suspension

[pmb]

Bosch washing machine Wfx2868gb/25 top spring broke a few weeks ago, now bottom suspension leg has broken bosch part 172688. The replacement is different and I assume you have change both.
They are expensive at about £80 . The customer said he has got them cheaper from europart,
About £30 part number 43bs06 but when i went round to fit them they are a different size
I don’t fancy mucking around for an hour and they still don’t work
On europart site they do say this is a alternative part
Anyone fitted them.

You had best fit the genuine Bosch kit ( pt no. 00172688). They cost £22 each direct from BSH ( not 80 quid!!!! ). Comes with new size bolts and spaces etc in the kit. 😀

Re: Bosch europart suspension

Just looked up on the bosch site and they are £31.03 each plus delivery, how are you coming up with £22
When I phone I normally get 15{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} discount, what do you get,not sure how to get trade discount online from bosch
I paid £27.17 + vat =£32.60 from connect last week
I was going to fit two of them for £80 total as I fitted a top spring recently

Trade discount. Some get better discounts than others of course but your 15{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} ain’t too bad. 😀

I know Qualtex do a suspension leg kit for these Bosch machines.
I strongly recommend getting the genuine part, the patten part QUASLG20 has those push in plastic pegs that you find on Lux washers as a result you have to drill the hole for the peg alot larger than if you were fitting the bolt for the genuine part.
Basically a harder and messier repair than fitting gen part.
