Hi,

Can anyone help identify the part numbers for the 2 bolts in the pic attached? One for the shock absorber, the other attaches arm to wheel hub..

2015 Octavia Vrs estate, 2.0 ltr. TDI/135 kW/diesel

I'm hoping I can replace my broken spring by removing the bolts (or just the shock bolt?) and using a spring compressor... If anyone's done it and can give advice I'd also appreciate it!

Thanks,

Rob

Sorry can't help on the part numbers, easy enough job though.

Done this on our old VRS, I just used a trolley jack under the arm to release the spring tension...wasn't much tension. I never replaced the bolts either and had it in bits a few times, if you're mechanically minded and not a monkey then reusing these bolts isn't a problem.

Also, I believe that the spring compressor isn't needed. Once you loose the two bolt the control arm will just lower itself, my advice is to place a trolley jack under the arm loose the tension on the bolts (like said before), remove them and lower the jack, the spring will come out, place the new spring and jack it up and bolt everything back.
