Hi All, while servicing my scout I have noticed one of the rear springs has a bit missing off the bottom (see pic), are they heavy duty springs or just standard ones, on eurocarparts  website it lists 4 standard and one heavy duty, now I do tow  a caravan so I am thinking about the HD ones so I presume they would fit ? Anybody know for sure ? Cheers Stuart

The paint on it is grn\grn\red and looking on Zzap for info it's a 1K0511115CR !

According to the gknautomotive.com online catalogue, 1K0 511 115 CS is the standard rear spring for the Skoda Octavia Estate 4x4 Scout 2010-2013, and 1K0 511 115 CT is the reinforced rear spring for the Skoda Octavia Estate 4x4 Scout 2010-2013. As you can see from the specification of each spring, the CR version is the softest, the CS version is a bit firmer, and the CT version is the firmest.

1K0 511 115 CR

Thickness 12,50 mm

Length 380 mm

Outer diameter 115 mm

Weight 2,40 kg

 

1K0 511 115 CS

Thickness 12,75 mm

Length 382 mm

Outer diameter 117 mm

Weight 2,60 kg

 

1K0 511 115 CT

Thickness 13,00 mm

Length 383 mm

Outer diameter 117 mm

Weight 2,80 kg

 

For comparison, this is the specification of the standard rear springs on the Skoda Octavia Estate TDI MK2 (not 4x4):

 

1K0 511 115 BF

 

Thickness 11,75 mm

Length 354 mm

Outer diameter 113 mm

Weight 1,95 kg

 

You can see that the 4x4 version uses much heavier duty rear springs than the two wheel drive estate, and for that reason you may find that the standard 1K0 511 115 CR rear springs are hard enough.

Brill thanks for that carlston, I was just looking on autodoc for all the different springs and there are some that have the same colour coding as the originals and size etc and there less than half price of eurocaparts  ! Cheers Stuart 

 

Just had a look on the GKN  website and I carnt find any info on the various springs ! Do you have a link to the info ? Cheers  Stuart

On this page, scroll down and click on "United Kingdom". Another window opens. Repeat the process if you want to open two or more windows. Opening two or more windows is useful if you want to compare different springs.
