  1. Once you have your car's build codes, you can use the Skoda parts catalogue to find the parts that your car left the factory with. Here's an example of build codes. The below car has 180 build codes. They have been sorted into alphanumerical order, so that you can sort through them quickly. There are also other useful codes, such as engine code and paint code, etc. Another useful piece of information is the date of manufacture. You can copy and paste the below codes into the "VW Codes Decoder", which should give you an idea of what each code is for. For example, some codes will be for the springs, shock absorbers, brakes, etc. VW Codes Decoder The "VW Codes Decoder" is for decoding the build codes. Simply copy and paste all your build codes into this decoder. http://igorweb.org/equidec.aspx Skoda parts catalogue Search "Skoda LLLParts" when looking for this website https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ Example of build codes (sorted in alphanumerical order for ease of reference) 0A1 0AQ 0CL 0EM 0F3 0FB 0G4 0GE 0KA 0N2 0P0 0RA 0SC 0TA 0VF 0Y1 0YA 1AN 1C1 1D0 1E0 1EX 1G2 1JL 1KB 1L0 1LR 1N2 1NC 1PA 1Q0 1S7 1SA 1T0 1Z2 2B0 2C5 2D0 2G5 2JF 2LB 2P1 2PQ 2V1 2VG 2W0 2WA 3B0 3C1 3CA 3FA 3H3 3J7 3L0 3LC 3NB 3P6 3Q1 3U1 3ZB 4A0 4B1 4E5 4F1 4GF 4KC 4L2 4M5 4N2 4P2 4QV 4R0 4SC 4TC 4U0 4UE 4X1 4XC 4Z1 5A6 5C6 5D0 5K0 5N2 5RV 5SJ 5TC 6A0 6EA 6FA 6J1 6KA 6NA 6P1 6PA 6Q1 6QA 6R1 6SC 6U0 6W1 6XD 6Y0 7A0 7AA 7B0 7E6 7PA 7Q0 7QA 7R3 7V2 8AC 8BF 8CC 8GD 8K0 8L3 8M1 8N4 8P1 8Q1 8QC 8R1 8RE 8SG 8T0 8TD 8W0 8WA 8X0 8Y4 9AA 9E0 9FA 9GA 9JD 9P0 9PE 9Q0 9T0 9TC 9U1 9W0 A8C AC1 AZ0 B09 B0N C04 C0D E0A F0A G0C G10 GA0 H8P J0L K8G KG2 L05 L0R ME0 N4C NM1 PF0 PZ1 Q1A QA0 QG1 QJ0 QM1 QN0 QS0 RBA S0J T9V U0L V0A VK0
  2. I've checked the Skoda parts catalogue, and there is only one pair of wheel bearing housings. So they will be the same for both manual and DSG. Left wheel bearing housing 6Q0407255S https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/6q0407255s?search=OEN 6Q0407255S Right wheel bearing housing 6Q0407256S https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/6q0407256s?search=OEN 6Q0407256S When sourcing these 288mm brake parts, it's not just the Fabia MK1 and Fabia MK2 that uses these parts, but all of the following VAG cars: Audi A1 Seat Cordoba II Seat Ibiza III Seat Ibiza IV Toledo IV Skoda Fabia MK1 Skoda Fabia MK2 Skoda Fabia MK3 Skoda Rapid Skoda Roomster VW Polo MK4 VW Polo MK5
  3. The lengths quoted by the spring manufacturers are only approximate. It's common to purchase a new aftermarket spring and find that it varies by a few millimetres from what is quoted. The Eibach R15459 is claimed to match 5Q0411105HS, and Eibach claims 330mm for the length. If your 5Q0411105HS is also 330mm, then the change to a 318mm 5Q0411105GN would be a 12mm reduction in uncompressed length. However, the 5Q0411105GN spring is softer than a 5Q0411105HS spring, perhaps by about 5%. This would result in a further reduction in front ride height of about 3mm with an unladen car. So you may find that the difference in front ride height between a 5Q0411105HS and a 5Q0411105GN spring is around 15mm, ie. what you would expect when going from an increased ride height spring to a standard ride height spring. Even if the difference in uncompressed length was only 8mm between the 5Q0411105HS and 5Q0411105GN, when you add in the increased compression of the softer spring, that would be a difference of about 11mm. Do you know what the OEM part number of your current rear springs are? If you don't, you can find your car's build codes on ebay. Search "skoda decoder VIN" to find the listing. Cost is about 3 Euros.

  4. According to Eibach's specifications, Eibach R20796 has a length of 311mm and Eibach R15459 has an uncompressed length of 330mm. Eibach R15459 5Q0411105HS Length 330mm, Wire diameter 13.0mm, Coil turns 4.8 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/5q0411105hs?search=OEN+5Q0411105HS&supplier[0]=112 Eibach R20796 5Q0411105CG 5Q0411105CH Length 311mm, Wire diameter 12.5mm, Coil turns 4.6 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/5q0411105cg?search=OEN+5Q0411105CG&supplier[0]=253&supplier[1]=112&supplier[2]=85&supplier[3]=246

You can see the specification of both the 5Q0411105GN front spring and the 5Q0411105HS front spring on gknautomotive.com 5Q0411105GN front spring https://web.tecalliance.net/gkn/en/parts/1/87623/detail?query=5Q0411105GN&numberType=1&oe=5Q0411105GN&groups=188#@brc/search:Search%20by%20any%20number%205Q0411105GN;query:5Q0411105GN;page:0/detail:87623;brandId:1;articleNo:87623;query:5Q0411105GN;numberType:1;oe:5Q0411105GN;groups:188 5Q0411105HS front spring https://web.tecalliance.net/gkn/en/parts/1/87966/detail?query=5Q0411105HS&numberType=1&oe=5Q0411105HS&groups=188#@brc/search:Search%20by%20any%20number%205Q0411105HS;query:5Q0411105HS;page:0/detail:87966;brandId:1;articleNo:87966;query:5Q0411105HS;numberType:1;oe:5Q0411105HS;groups:188
  6. As you can see in the charts below, the wheel bearing housings for both the Fabia MK1 with 288mm TRW front brakes and the Fabia MK2 with 288mm TRW/ATE front brakes are the same, ie. 6Q0407255S is the left wheel bearing housing and 6Q0407256S is the right wheel bearing housing. Although the Fabia MK3 uses different OEM part numbers for the wheel bearing housings with 288mm ATE front brakes, these are also interchangeable with earlier Fabia MK1 and Fabia MK2 cars.

  7. The Fabia MK3 1.2 turbo petrol 110PS uses 288mm front brake discs, at least according to Jurid. Front brake pads for these discs aren't listed without the wear indicator in the Skoda parts catalogue. If you can get the OEM part number of the original brake pads, you might be able to find aftermarket ones without the wear indicator by searching autodoc for that OEM part number.
  8. The Fabia MK2 VRS will have red brake calipers. If you want refurbished brake calipers at a later date, they tend to be the silver colour, so you might want to look at the 288mm brakes on the other Fabia MK2 cars that use them. Also, there might be a price premium on Fabia MK2 VRS brakes. Fabia MK2 cars with at least 105PS will use the 288mm front brakes, at least according to Jurid brakes. 288mm front brakes ATE 1.2 TSI 77 kW 2010–2014 CBZB (EA111) 1197 ccm, I4, 8V, OHC, TSI, turbocharged 77 kW (105 PS; 103 hp) at 5000 rpm 175 Nm.

  9. What OEM part number does the left brake caliper have? Being from the Fabia VRS it will probably be either 6Q0615123 (TRW brake system) or 1K0615123M (ATE brake system with red brake calipers). The 1K0615123E and 1K0615123M are the same calipers except for the paint colour. As you can see below, there are three possible options for the left brake caliper that the 288mm front brake discs use. I could have used the right brake caliper OEM part number instead of the left brake caliper to identify the brake system, but I normally use the left. The TRW brake system for 288mm front discs is listed up to the Fabia MK2 2010 model year, whereas the ATE brake system for the 288mm front discs is listed from the Fabia MK2 2011 model year. Fabia MK2 OEM part number 288mm front brake discs left brake caliper OEM part number 6Q0615123 (TRW brake system) https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2010-608/6/615-615025/ 1K0615123E (ATE brake system) https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2011-697/6/615-615025/ 1K0615123M (ATE brake system with red brake calipers) https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2011-697/6/615-615030/ As you can see in the two photos below, it's easy to identify whether the brake calipers are part of the TRW or ATE brake system on the 288mm front discs. TRW brake calipers (up to and including the 2010 model year on the Fabia MK2) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/6q0615123?search=OEN+6Q0615123&supplier[0]=3&supplier[1]=833 ATE brake calipers (from the 2011 model year on the Fabia MK2) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/1k0615123m?search=OEN+1K0615123M&supplier[0]=833&supplier[1]=3 The brake pads for the TRW brake system are available with either the wear warning contact or without the wear warning contact, whereas the brake pads for the ATE brake system are only available with the wear warning contact.
  10. You could try the Eibach R10494 rear springs matching OEM part number 1K0511115CT. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/1k0511115ct?search=OEN 1K0511115CT If your current springs have started to sag with age and use, then new rear springs will raise the rear ride height. Also use new top and bottom seats for the rear springs because the original ones might have started to compress. New rear shock absorbers might also help the rear ride height, because these are gas filled and provide some uplift...at least when new. If you do change the rear springs, compare the uncompressed length of the old and new springs.

  11. The Fabia rims have a specification of 5/100 57.1 so you can't use rims with a specification of 5/112 57.1 Wheels from bigger cars such as Octavia MK2/3/4, Superb, Karoq, Kodiaq, won't fit the Fabia because these bigger cars use a 5/112 57.1 rim specification and not the smaller 5/100 57.1 rim specification, ie. the hub centre bore of 57.1mm is the same but the BCD (Bolt Circle Diameter) for the wheel bolts is different.

  12. Instead of 1K0511115CT rear springs, you might want to take a look at 1T0511115AB and 1TO511115AC as shown in the chart below. As you can see, 1K0511115CT is listed as weight range 0YH, 1T0511115AB is listed as a weight range 0YJ, and 1T0511115AC is listed as a weight range 0YK. These lists of springs that are ordered by weight range aren't always logical. So it could be that 1T0511115AB and 1T0511115AC are heavier duty than 1K0511115CT, but they might not be. Can you find out the specification of 1T0511115AB and 1T0511115AC, such as wire diameter, number of coil turns, uncompressed length, weight, etc.? It's possible that they won't be available to order even through a Skoda dealer. 1T0511115AB and 1T0511115AC isn't available aftermarket, and hence I can find no specifications for them.

  13. Did you fit new 1K0511115CT rear springs? Is that about 8mm higher in the front? The reason of course, is because you have fitted Kodiaq 5Q0411105DQ front springs with a wire diameter of 13.5mm instead of the standard Scout 5Q0411105HS front springs which have a wire diameter of 13.00mm. I suggest you change the Kodiaq 5Q0411105DQ front springs to standard Scout 5Q0411105HS front springs, which should lower your front end by about 6mm assuming that the uncompressed lengths of both springs are about the same. An alternative could be using helper springs that some people use when they tow a caravan. This would make the rear springs stiffer and increase the rear ride height. Although Eibach R10494 are listed at 387mm in length, you may find that they are the same length as your current springs. This is because the uncompressed length of aftermarket springs will often vary by a few millimetres from what the manufacturer claims. Also, the springs might come out of the factory with slightly varying lengths. Can you return Eibach R10494 rear springs for a full refund, if they turn out to be less than 387mm? If they really are about 5mm longer than your current rear springs, then they would help level up the car. Also, consider "Grayson spring helpers" as shown in the photo below. These spring helpers lock out one of the coil turns, so as your rear springs have about 8.8 coil turns these might increase the spring's stiffness by about 10% and increase your rear ride height by about 6mm.
  14. I normally use Bilstein B4 shock absorbers, and they are sometimes fitted as OEM equipment on cars. You might want to check the model number with Bilstein directly, or one of the big suppliers. Although I expect autodoc has got it correct. The below Bilstein shock absorbers are not electronic shock absorbers. So if your car has DampTronic, you will need much more expensive shock absorbers costing many times the price. Bilstein B4 22-232342 front shock absorbers https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bilstein/9266741 Bilstein B4 19-232362 rear shock absorbers https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bilstein/9129438
  15. If you were working in the factory building the Fabia MK2 and your job was to fit the front brakes, you would look at the car's build codes. A build code has 3-digits, and is needed so that the correct option can be selected. A car might have around 180 build codes, that tell the factory workers all the options that are fitted and all the options that are not fitted. Such options might be what engine is fitted, what gearbox is fitted, whether the car has air-conditioning, what colour paint to spray the car, what radio to fit in the car, what wheels to fit to the car, whether the car has a sunroof, whether the car has a towbar, in fact everything that varies on that particular model. Considering that most people can easily be trained to work on a factory assembly line, it's not a difficult concept. If you were a factory worker that was fitting the front brakes, you wouldn't need to know all the car's build codes. Just the build code for the front brakes so that you could fit the correct part. A build code is precise, as it can only mean one thing. And as the car goes along the production line, it gets fitted with all the correct parts.

  16. The Monte is just a trim level. The size of the brakes will depend on the engine. However, the most reliable way to find the size of the brakes is to look at the car's build codes. If you look on autodoc at Jurid brakes (who seem to be one of the few brands that actually knows what size brakes are fitted to various cars), it appears that the Fabia MK2 has 288mm front brake discs when the engine has at least 105HP. Less power, such as 90HP, and the front brake discs are only 256mm. The lowest powered 1.2 6v petrol 60HP (NOT the 1.2 petrol 12v 60HP engine which uses 288mm front brake discs) uses even smaller 239mm front brake discs. As you can see below, 105HP gets 288mm front brakes. Less than 105HP gets 256mm front brakes, except 1.2 petrol 6v 60HP gets 239mm front brakes, but the 1.2 petrol 12v 60HP gets 256mm front brakes.

  17. With aftermarket springs, early spring breakage is a big problem. Hence why I suggest brands like the South Korean KYB and the Swedish Kilen/Lesjofors. I suspect many of the German (and other countries) brands have been outsourcing to China and selling sub-standard springs that break early. Hence why I would choose KYB, Kilen/Lesjofors over even Eibach ERL (Eibach Replacement Line). You may get lucky with Eibach, and I might risk it if KYB and Kilen/Lesjofors didn't make a suitable match. One problem with Eibach R19441 front springs is that it is being sold to replace more than one OEM part number. This means that it may not be a close match to the OEM part number that you want, ie. 5Q0411105GN. However, I've checked the listed specification that Eibach gives for this spring, ie. Eibach R19441, and it does appear to be similar to KYB RA1491. So if you want to add the Eibach R19441 front springs and Eibach R21093 rear springs to your shortlist, I think that it's reasonably safe to do so. On autodoc these two Eibach springs seem like a good price, especially on Mondays when they have their 30% discount day. In case you didn't know, autodoc tend to vary their discount for each day of the week...and Mondays seems to be their biggest discount day. I guess this is because many people will purchase over the weekend, and by Monday they have already made their purchase. Hence Monday is autodoc's biggest discount day, where sales are perhaps the slowest. However, the KYB springs are a similar price so I would choose them over Eibach. The main reason being that I would feel a little more confident that the KYB springs wouldn't break early. I know someone who has fitted KYB springs over many years to about 10 different cars, and done a lot of mileage...with zero breakages. In my book, that's 10/10 for reliability with the KYB springs. I doubt you would have trouble with Kilen/Lesjofors either, as they are made in Sweden from Swedish steel, in the most modern European factory, and Kilen/Lesjofors are the biggest European aftermarket spring manufacturer.

  18. Instead of a 125/70R18 space saver, there are 135/80R18 space saver tyres available. As you can see in the below charts, 135/80R18 is a much better match to the outside diameter of the standard Karoq tyre sizes. Outside diameter of standard Karoq tyre sizes compared to 125/70R18 space saver 125/70R18 632.2mm 215/60R16 664.4mm (5.1% bigger than 125/70R18 space saver) 215/55R17 668.3mm (5.7% bigger than 125/70R18 space saver) 215/50R18 672.2mm (6.3% bigger than 125/70R18 space saver) Outside diameter of standard Karoq tyre sizes compared to 135/80R18 space saver 135/80R18 673.2mm 215/60R16 664.4mm (1.3% smaller than 135/80R18 space saver) 215/55R17 668.3mm (0.7% smaller than 135/80R18 space saver) 215/50R18 672.2mm (0.1% smaller than 135/80R18 space saver) 135/80R18 space saver tyres listed on camskill https://www.camskill.co.uk/m129b0s7672p0/Temporary_Spare_Tyres_-_Space_Saver_Tyres_-_18_inch_R18_inch_-_135_80_18_135_80R18_R18_inch_-_135_18_135R18 OEM part numbers of some space saver rims 3.5Jx18 ET25 5/112 57.1 space saver steel rim (from Octavia MK3 and some other models) 1K0601027AP 03C 5Q0601027BC 03C 4Jx18 ET28 5/112 57.1 space saver steel rim (from Kodiaq so 145/45R18 space saver tyre is normally fitted to this rim, but 135/80R18 would also fit this 4Jx18 ET28 rim, for use with cars such as Karoq, Superb MK3, etc.) 5QF601027B 03C With the above OEM part numbers for the space saver rims (without tyres) you should be able to order them from UK Skoda dealers. However, there seems little point in even using a 135/80R18 space saver (which would fit to the same rim that the 125/70R18 uses) if a 215/60R16 spare wheel fits in the spare wheel well.
  19. You need a good brand of spring and just as importantly you need the springs to match the OEM part numbers that you want. If you purchase the wrong springs, you could end up with the wrong ride height, the wrong spring stiffness, and springs that break early. Front springs matching OEM part number 5Q0411105GN KYB RA1491 Kilen 25123 Lesjofors 4095137 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/5q0411105gn?search=OEN+5Q0411105GN&supplier[0]=85&supplier[1]=246&supplier[2]=253 Rear springs matching OEM part number 3Q0511115M KYB RA5337 Kilen 65126 Lesjofors 4295136 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3q0511115m?search=OEN+3Q0511115M&supplier[0]=253&supplier[1]=85&supplier[2]=246 On ebay, KYB RA1491 front springs are listed for £31.48 (about 37.57 Euros) each, and KYB RA5337 rear springs are listed for £27.28 (about 32.56 Euros) each. (Prices correct at time of writing.) KYB RA1491 front springs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234637754942?hash=item36a180023e%3Ag%3AZ2AAAOSwz75i4OAT&LH_ItemCondition=3 KYB RA5337 rear springs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334456585913?hash=item4ddf2a7eb9%3Ag%3AQiYAAOSw5zBiknG~&LH_ItemCondition=3 KYB, Kilen, and Lesjofors are all top quality brands. Kilen and Lesjofors are the same springs made in the same factory in Sweden. They are just sold under different brands names, so that the manufacturer can increase their market share, ie. sell more springs. So if you want one of these brands, then purchase the cheapest. In the UK, Kilen tends to be cheaper than Lesjofors, but in many European countries Lesjofors might be cheaper than Kilen.

  21. Why not a full size spare wheel? What ever you do, I suggest you first purchase a spare wheel kit. This comprises the foam and jack, etc. so all the parts except the spare wheel itself. The foam and jack kit is cheap (this kit is only for FWD Karoq NOT 4WD which uses a different kit) at 1,081.99CZK (about £36.92) and can be ordered from a UK Skoda dealer using the OEM part number 57A093860 https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/sady-pro-vymenu-kol/c/setsToChangeWheels?q=%3ApriceAsc%3AcarType%3AKaroq%2B%282017%2B%29&text=# Maybe a 215/60R16 tyre fitted to a 6Jx16 ET43 5/112 57.1 steel rim will fit? I would have thought so, because that is where your punctured wheel would go. 215/60R16 99H XL spare wheel (with winter tyre fitted) https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/kompletni-zimni-kolo-16-pro-karoq/p/57A073566 The links are to a Czech website, so just use the links for finding information such as OEM part number, specification, photos, approximate price, etc. Once you have the OEM part numbers, it should be easy to order from a Skoda dealer in the UK. The normal tyre sizes on the Karoq have an outside diameter of about 5% more than the 125/70R18 space saver, ie. the space saver isn't a very good match to the original tyre sizes. The original tyre sizes on the Karoq are 215/60R16, 215/55R17, 215/50R18, etc. Outside diameter 125/70R18 632.2mm 215/60R16 664.4mm (5.1% bigger than 125/70R18 space saver) 215/55R17 668.3mm (5.7% bigger than 125/70R18 space saver) 215/50R18 672.2mm (6.3% bigger than 125/70R18 space saver) wheel-size.com https://www.wheel-size.com/
  22. Search "VIN skoda decoder" on ebay, to find a seller charging about 3 Euros for all of the car's build codes. Once you have the car's build codes, you can see a Skoda parts catalogue on "LLLParts Skoda" to find what parts the car left the factory with, such as springs, shock absorbers, brakes, etc. Skoda parts catalogue "LLLParts Skoda" https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda
  23. If you are going to inflate your tyres to more than 3 Bar (44psi) make sure they are XL (eXtra Load). SL (Standard Load) tyres can be inflated up to 3 Bar (44psi) and XL (eXtra Load) tyres can be inflated up to 3.5 Bar (51psi). Check on the tyre's sidewall for maximum inflation pressure.
  24. If the top speed of your car is more than 190km/h (118mph) but not more than 210km/h (130mph) then H-speed rated tyres are legal. Over-specifying tyres, such as fitting V, W, Y, etc. when your car doesn't go over 130mph will make the ride unnecessarily harder. The tyres will also be heavier which has a negative effect on fuel consumption. Over-specifying tyres, such as using XL (eXtra Load) when SL (Standard Load) will do, is also not a good idea for the same reasons as above. It's legal to over-specify tyres and sometimes necessary if the minimum specification isn't available in the tyre size that you want to fit. Bear in mind that in the UK the speed limit is never more than 70mph (even on motorways), so even tyres rated at 120km/h (75mph) may be legal. You can check the guidance for MOT testers on the government website for further information. However, it's quite rare for car tyres to be sold with a speed rating lower than T, ie. 190km/h (118mph).
  25. If you are purchasing an aftermarket oil cap, the same oil cap will often be sold to replace all these OEM part numbers: 06K103485A 06K103485B 06K103485C 06K103485D TOPRAN 116 744 Oil Filler Cap https://www.autodoc.co.uk/topran/12925830
