What are the pr codes for your car for suspension? There should be this sticker in the boot area or in the service manual (huoltokirja) where all these pr codes are listed. With those pr codes you will find the correct oem numbers from this topic. With the same answer, I can also confirm that my spring install was a success without need to replace the shocks. Car handles now much better with and without load, compared to the old stock spring. I haven't had any need for the 4-way alignment so far.

Thanks for the info, I have now ordered the Sachs 992 103 springs, to get a bit more load capacity to the rear. I will also replace the rear shocks, I found oem shocks with reasonable price, so I will not try any aftermarket version. At first I will replace only the rear parts, as the front seems to be ok. I will ofcourse do the front as well, if it feels that it is not in pair with the rear after the new parts. The car has run a bit over 200K km so might be needed to the front also. Depending a bit on the ride, I need to think if a 4-way alignment would be needed, as the ride height changes a bit (5mm difference in spring length). I have done it when purchased the car ca. 1,5 years a go and it is "perfect" now and was a good 100€ spent at the time. Thw winter tyres are not so precise what comes to the steering, so latest with summer tyres I will see the need for the alignment.

Thanks for a really good information on this thread Carlston and others I am also looking for new springs and shocks to my MY16 Scout with 2.0TDI 150hp equipped with 6spd manual gearbox. With my VIN TMBLJ7NEXG0128781, I was able to identify that in front I have G09 + L31 combination of springs and shocks, and in rear 1JB + 0YC. I am happy how my front handles, so I think I will stay with the original spring hardness, but for the rear I think the original spring is too soft, rear is sagging already with minimal load. Propably will source the AN listed springs (SACHS 992 103), as my original spring is the softest of these options. My question is about the shocks, have you anybody found good aftermarket solutions for the Scout suspension? I think the original rear shock is 5E0513029C or 5E0513029D, and the front shock is 5Q0413023GB.
