Incorrect Part / front spring replacement

Featured Replies

Earilier this yr, a front Spring on my 2002 Vrs snapped, so I took it my local dealer, who replaced both sides. However, upon collecting the car i thought the front ride height seems high, but was told "it will settle" in time.

2 months later the ride height is still high, with the arches having a larger gap with before, with the nose of the car higher that the rearwhich to me is definately not how it was before the failure

Does anyone have the correct original part number, as the springs fitted are part no. 1J0411105AJ, cost being £111.52 excl VAT (for both)

I would like to find out this , prior to taking the car back to the dealer, it seems a few people have had similar experiences

Thanks in advance

It will be based on your chassis number Stu.

There may be a couple of variations which are normally depicted by the colours of paint dabs on them

Thats the same part number that i fitted to my one 2 weeks ago and it's sitting fine. The spring should have 4 yellow dots and one pink one on it.

Dunno part numbers, but it wouldn't be the first time someone's put non-vRS springs on a vRS and said something like this to the owner.
