Hi all.

Skoda fabia mk3 2015 hatch.

 

Does anyone know what brand these front suspension components are by there part numbers?

 

Top mounts - 09228

Shock aborbers - GS3209F

Drop links - ALB1001

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

VIN?

Why is the VIN needed?

To determine components used in your car - depending on engine and transmission, different parts are used.

I will have to look later on, thanks pab567.

The front dampers used by VWŠkoda and their Dealership for my wife's 2015 1.2 TSI (90) are very-poor from factory and as replacements, the factory ones only lasted 6 years and their Dealership replacements were "misting" within 11 months of less than average use (MoT advisory or potential fail).  Sorry I forget the make but they are well known about in the trade, don't bother with them.

 

Where have you found these part numbers, they sound a lot like being a seller like GSF's own warehouse stock numbers?

 

Maybe look on Autodoc just to find which brands are generally available and each brand's parts/reference number - and build up some facts from doing that before heading off and ordering in parts - just a suggestion, that is all.

 

My wife's August 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI 110PS 6MT has run over 50,000 miles, I "refreshed" the suspension and for now, I've just left the original ARB drop links on it as they seem to be okay - I did buy new drop links from maybe Skoda and I'm frightened to fit them as they cost so much!

 

My wife's first Polo was a 2002 car, the only reason that I replaced its ARB drop links is because I could not remove the nuts without causing them damage when I needed to replace the front springs, so, when I had to repeat that jon on my older daughter's 2009 Ibiza, I prepared for needing new ARB drop links - and the original ones came off very easily - so that pair of maybe Febi drop links still resides in my parts box 7 years later.

 

Lots of people have reported ARB drop links failing in early life - or did so at one time, but not my experience from working on a 2009 Ibiza in 2016 or a 2015 Polo in 2024.

Ok, thanks everyone.

Well the reason i ask is because a garage fitted the said items 12 days ago and they wont tell me what brands they have fitted, i made it clear before they started the repair that i want the brands on the invoice. So they just put the part numbers.

I have pestered them verbally and via email and just got one email reply saying ''Just waiting to hear back from the supplier''.

That was on Dec 4th and havnt had any replies since.

I will take it further if need be.

You know what, i think the GSF warehouse numbers may be worth looking into, thanks pal.
