Love my 2013 Fabia scout estate 1.2tsi with one exception.... the boot seems to sag quite badly when loaded up with my market stuff.

I plan to get the coil springs changed but the ones recommended by MAD don't fit the Scout.

Does anyone know the correct part number for new springs. I looked on the sticker in the boot but it doesn't give me any info.

Anyone else had the same sagging problem.

Thanks

@Carlston might be able to help.

Kilen/Lesjofors list the standard rear springs on the Fabia MK2 1.2TSI estate as 6Q0511115M. However, it's best to check using more accurate methods...such as the car's build codes or the "skoda parts com" website.

On the "skoda parts com" website, to find out what rear springs the car left the factory with, you can set up a free account and park the car in the online garage using its VIN number. Then when you search for the rear springs, only the correct ones are shown...thereby allowing you to find the correct OEM part number.

6Q0511115M rear springs are marked with 1 orange dot, 2 yellow dots, 1 orange dot. The corresponding build code is 0YD.

If 6Q0511115M are the factory fitted rear springs, then going up to 6Q0511115AL would be a sensible option. As you can see in the chart below, 6Q0511115AL is about 15% stiffer than 6Q0511115M...due to both the increase in wire diameter and the reduction in the number of coil turns (both of which make the spring stiffer).

It appears that the 6Q0511115AL rear springs are used on the equivalent Fabia MK3, ie. Fabia MK3 1.2TSI estate. Note that the Fabia MK2 Scout (estate) doesn't have increased ride height, but standard ride height. Also note that the 6Q0511115AL rear springs are listed in both the Fabia MK2 and Fabia MK3 parts catalogue. Also, also, note that the 6Q0511115AL rear springs have an uncompressed length that is 9mm shorter than 6Q0511115M...at least according to Sachs...so the Fabia MK2 1.2TSI Scout (estate) should have about the same unladen ride height with either springs...except that once a heavy load is added to the stiffer 6Q0511115AL rear springs the rear end won't sag as much compared to the softer 6Q0511115M rear springs.

Specification of rear springs

6Q0511115M, wire diameter 10.0mm, number of coil turns 8.8

6Q0511115AL wire diameter 10.25mm, number of coil turns 8.0 (about 15% stiffer compared to 6Q0511115M)

The car's build codes can be obtained from an ebay seller for 3 Euros (about £2.50)
