my front springs have distinctive coloured dots - 2 pink + 2 blue on both .

Can anyone please advise on what they signify.  I've a 1.2 TSI Outdoor model.

additional info

They signify the spring rating between models. Be that a basic model, or a sport or a VRS, or an Estate which requires a software or harder spring.

The dots can come in any of nine different colours:

Blue, Brown, Green, Grey, Orange, Red, Violet, White, Yellow

If a coil spring decided to snap (like mine did the other day), you can match them for a new set.
