I am tempted to do the former to be honest, but first need to confirm whether or not my springs are actually broken (I strongly suspect that they are, sadly) |

Tautology Rob. Try to resist copying the Americans. They have their own language.

Lift the rear seat cushion base, on the left hand side should be a label with spring colour codes on it.

I have just replaced the rear spings on my tourer. I bought them from euro car parts and they were in stock. I did remove the reat seat to check what springs / dampers were fitted - although on dismantling the springs and looking at the dampers on the vehicle they were clearly marked. Mine had the self levelling option which uses a slightly different spring but euro car parts stocked both types.

Rear Springs
Quote:
No one here could tell me. Phoned Sachs, Germany who asked me to speak to tech support in UK. When i spoke to them they said couldn't help as they sell them as Boge and ECP buy direct from them in Germany as Sachs. Car Parts 4 Less first supplied me the lighter spring. (ECP only had 1 spring in stock) Got cold feet and ordered the heavy duty. However after lots of enquiring the consensus was that the heavy duty were if pulling a caravan etc. My tourer is never heavily loaded (also no hitch) so will fit the lighter springs I think

My damper identification was "J" and my spring identification was "RH" which details Self Levelling Option The part number for this is 627750610 (Coil Spring - self levelling type) They also stock 2 other types for standard type dampers 627750600 (Coil spring standard duty - non self levelling) 627750730 (Coil spring heavy duty -non self levelling ) Remember to retain the top and bottom rubber mountings as I found it difficult to find replacements for these so fitted the old ones to the new springs. |
