Møller Bil Grorud if you live around Oslo   They have at least one you can go and test drive.

I live In Mandal. Been to Arendal, Kristiansand, Lyngdal. Not a single one

But I get a little concerned about sports suspension after what Neuroteek says here

But you can aslo read above that many people disagree with me, if the roads in Norway are better than in Croatia, where they range from great to bloody awful, it will be ok for you.

What i am 100% sure about, no matter what other people say, mk2 sport on 17" is much more comfortable ride.

I have 18" and sport suspension on the new octy 3. It looks great and the driving feels good. You don´t have to worry about norwegian roads.

Norwegian roads are pretty decent where I live. I know the roadconditions In Croatia!!

Anyway, it looks so much better with sportsuspension!!

But in Norway, one must not drive faster than 70 km / h

 

70km/h=43Mph

I've been in both countries and the Norwegian ones are top notch.

 

The motorways in Croatia are really good though, I was impressed! I wish we had even half of what they have.

Hi folks, does anyone know the dimensions of coil springs for preface octavia 3 estate 2.0 tdi 150 DSG6 FWD with factory sport suspension?

 

I believe they should be 272mm front and 319mm rear but not sure.

 

Thanks in advance

According the gknautomotive spring catalogue, the Octavia MK3 2.0TDI 184HP VRS manual gearbox uses 5Q0411105HC sports front springs, and the Octavia MK3 2.0TDI 184HP VRS automatic gearbox uses 5Q0411105HD sports front springs. However, the Kilen spring catalogue thinks that the springs are one or two weight ranges higher than this. So it's best to check your car's build codes to find out exactly what springs the car left the factory with.

 

gknautomotive lists the 5Q0411105HD as having a length of 284mm and a wire diameter of 12.25mm.

 

Notice in the chart below, that 5Q0411105HD corresponds to build code L17.

 

If you have a list of all your car's build codes, you can check whether it has build code L17, or some other Lxx number.

You are correct for front spring being 284mm and pn 5Q0411105HD but this numer also correzponds to eibach spring with length 272mm which is strange.

 

Apart from that I do not find any info for the numbers for rear end you provided.

 

Hopefully an owner of such setup joins the thread

Eibach R19488 is sold to replace three OEM part numbers, ie. 5Q0411105HD, 5Q0411105GD, and 5Q0411105KE. Therefore, the Eibach R19488 might not be a copy of 5Q0411105HD, but one of the other two OEM part numbers.

 

If the Eibach R19488 is a copy of 5Q0411105HD, then it's normal for manufacturers to make slightly different lengths from one another. This is because they purchase a spring from VAG to copy, and not surprisingly the springs that VAG sells are not always exactly the same length due to manufacturing tolerances, different factories, different batches, etc.

 

I once purchased two genuine and supposedly identical OEM springs, but they were about 10mm different in length. They had been manufactured in different years, so they weren't from the same batch, and maybe not even the same factory. The parts guy immediately gave me a full refund and ordered in freshly made parts, that hadn't been sitting around on the shelf for years. The freshly ordered in parts were an identical pair.
