Despite trawling the forums I cannot find a definitive answer to this;

What are the correct springs to be using on an FL 170Cr DSG VRS Hatch?

There appear to be a number of part codes keep cropping up but this one in particular seems to be the most appropriate;

E10-79-004-04-22

Their catalogue is online (eibach.de)

hopefully this link will work:

This is where the confusion sets in because it appears the E10-79-004-04-22 is a stiffer spring or at least meant for a heavier engine............................

The link you sent me is for the E10-79-004-02-22

?

From the site it looks like the kit is for both engines:

BMN, CEGA.

the equation is simple......

E10-79-004-04-22 = wagon/combi version

E10-79-004-02-22 = liftback/hatch version

It may be confusing but from what I learned their are 2 types of springs.

One for lighter engines, like the 1.2/1.4/1.6 and also suit 1.8/1.9

Then you have another set (stiffer to hold the extra wait) for the 1.8/1.9/2.0

As JR RS mentioned, the ones for your E10-79-004-02-22 Hatch

For smaller engines that number would be E10-79-004-01-22 Hatch

For mine(1.6tdi) the number would be E10-79-004-03-22 Break

Heavier engines E10-79-004-04-22 Break

I'm just looking at the kit: E10-79-004-04-22 on ebay £88 from Germany and £180 from the UK, anyone knows a place where can I get them cheaper in the UK ?
