Help with new shocks for Octavia mk3

[VenomVrs]

Hi!
I have Skoda Octavia VRS mk3, 2013.
Pre-fl, 2.0tdi 135kw, fwd.
It has multi-link suspension at the back.
Im a fresh owner and don't know about Skodas that much.
The date on the shocks are form 2013 and shock body is a bit rusty also, milage is 195k. Meanwhile car itself is in superb oder.
Car wallows a bit on highway and i think its a good time to refresh the suspension.
Im looking a set of Bilstein b4 and in the future Eibach pro-kit.
Springs i found and seems to be E10-79-010-02-22.
But i need help with shocks. 
Rear ones has a marking of 500512011HP.
Front ones has 5Q0 412 037 JR.
Can somebody please help me find codes for B4, front and back?

There are no shock absorbers shown on autodoc when a search is carried out using either 5Q0412037JR or 500512011HP.

 

Therefore, these are not likely to be the OEM part numbers of the shock absorbers that the car left the factory with.

 

If you're looking for aftermarket parts for things like shock absorbers, it's best to get a full list of the car's build codes.

 

It's very important for the OEM part number of each of your car's shock absorbers to be stated in the listing for the aftermarket shock absorber. That way, the shock absorber manufacturer is saying that their aftermarket shock absorber will fit your car.

 

You can get the car's build codes on ebay for about 3 Euros. Search "skoda vin decoder" on ebay, to find the listing.

 

"erwin skoda" is another alternative, but that costs about 7 Euros for 1 hour's access which should be enough time to download the data.

 

A build code is made up of 3 letters and/or number, such as 1JA 2UC, etc. Each VAG car might have a total of around 180 build codes. You can use "vw codes decoder" to decode the build codes.

For now i only found these things:
 

EDA = code not found 😞
1D2 = Trailer hitch, removable and lockable
55J = code not found 😞
5RQ = Right exterior mirror: convex
1KT = Disc brakes, rear (Geomet D)
6FF = Body-colored exterior mirror housings and various add-on parts
1AT = Electronic stabilization program (ESP)
3FA1N7 = code not found 😞
1NL = Covers for alloy wheels
H7D4UPAR4 = code not found 😞
3NU = Rear seat bench unsplit, backrest split folding with center armrest
3QB4X44A3 = code not found 😞
8ZH = Antenna for AM/FM reception, "diversity"
JED = code not found 😞
0I6 = code not found 😞
BGU9AK = code not found 😞
9VS7UG = code not found 😞
I8G = High radio (Gen1)
8QL = Key for locking system with remote control
8X1 = Headlight washer system
4K3 = Radio remote controlled central locking operated from inside and safe securing
B01 = Type approval Germany
7MJ = Emission standard EU5 plus
QN23L3 = code not found 😞
9P5 = Seat belt reminder, optical and acousticelectric contact
Q4H = Comfort sports seats, front
7X5 = Parallel parking assistant
9ZE = Comfort telephone system
8WB3GN7AS = code not found 😞
G03 = Front shock absorption
L18 = Suspension range 18 installation control only, no requirement forecast
7P4 = Manually adjustable lumbar support in front seats
F0A357 = code not found 😞
2UC = Sports version

[Carlston]

2UC Sports suspension

 

L18 front springs

5Q0411105HE

 

G03 front shock absorbers

5Q0413023FH (50mm struts)

5Q0413023FJ (50mm struts)

5Q0413023FK (50mm struts)

5Q0413031FP (55mm struts)

 

Are the struts on your front shock absorbers 50mm or 55mm? Because your car was manufactured before 25.05.2015 it would appear from the Skoda parts catalogue that your front shock absorbers have 55mm struts.

 

You are only showing about 45 build codes. This is not the full list, as your car might have around 180 build codes.

 

Can you get a printout of all your build codes from a local Skoda dealer if you don't want to go the ebay or "erwin skoda" route?

H7D4UPAR4

PR Codes for these need spaces, 3x characters

 

PRCode: 4UP = Driver's and front passenger air bag with knee air bag and front passenger air bag deactivation
PRCode: AR4 = Reserved for line marking
PRCode: H7D = Tires 225/40 R18 92Y xl

 

If you like, chuck a batch in here http://prsearch.planetvag.com/

 

 

Edit: @jimboJonessorry quoted your post by mistake, I realise that it's @VenomVrs list, though perhaps you now have a nice website you can use to decode them now.

Edit: I can see why my eye was drawn to the post, you seemingly decoded H7D4UPAR4 as H7D4UP4R4?  Could be a typo from VenomVrs 👌

Edit: Sleep needed

Most of the possible OEM part numbers for the shock absorbers on your car aren't listed against Bilstein B4 shock absorbers on autodoc.
