It’s not a difficult job, the worst bit is getting the old ones out. I used a big blow torch and melted them

Thank you for the confirmation that 1J0501541C will fit in. I will be swapping my bushes soon and I'm very hesitant to put polyurethane bushes because once the grease which you put in during installation after while make itself out or just slowly dry out they tend to squeak a lot after while and basicaly impossible to regrease unless you take it apart again.Hi Guys, I've been on the arduous journey of getting rear bushes sorted as well. I've eventually sourced some alternative parts and they fit and work!
I've used the bushes from a Skoda Fabia, with reference 1J0501541C. If thats useful to anyone. Cheers
Thanks for that, I shall be dong my replacement beam axle soon. Were the old ones hard to get out, and did you have to get the new ones pressed in?Hi Guys, I've been on the arduous journey of getting rear bushes sorted as well. I've eventually sourced some alternative parts and they fit and work!

Yes that's correct I just bought 4 for both of my cars after discounts and coupons cost me just 6.70 each.Thanks for that, I shall be dong my replacement beam axle soon. Were the old ones hard to get out, and did you have to get the new ones pressed in?
Are these the style?View attachment 118810
It seems they fit many cars in the VW group.
So this is tested and really does fits the A2 rear bush to axle beam?Yes that's correct I just bought 4 for both of my cars after discounts and coupons cost me just 6.70 each.
Remember to buy new bolts. You might not be able to use old ones. Idealy buy the bolts in pair with nuts.
Part number

Yes it will fit A2s. The only reason why it mark as "NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE" if you cross check the numbers is the hardness of rubber. They used diferent hardness for polo, Fabia etc and A2s. Actual part is identical. I don't think you will feel any difference in day to day driving. Maybe if you take it to track day and do couple laps around Silverstone you would feel it.So this is tested and really does fits the A2 rear bush to axle beam?

There was one company making polyurethane bushes stated to be for A2s that had completely the wrong profile. I sent them photos and scale diagrams of my old bushes and they promptly withdrew them. so be careful. The A2 has a large thick shim that itself has a indented centre that the bush has to fit in, otherwise it wont go between the jaws of the U shaped bracket.Thank you for the confirmation that 1J0501541C will fit in.

No, they're too short.So part number from @bix is incorrect then, the bolts aren't N10409903
