Rear shock absorbers

[moriarty]

I need to replace rear Shocks on my 2019 Leon ST FR 1.5 150 as one is leaking.

I took a photo of the existing ones, and having owned the car since it was 7 months old, I'm pretty sure they are original, it says Sachs and 5Q0 512 013 FK and 801401000302. This number doesn't seem to tie in with anything I can find online other than a Bilstein B4 that the compatibility checker says doesn't fit my car.
I'm guessing it is a superseded part number and something else is now recommended?

The part that seems to come up in searches is 5Q0513049FH using the compatibility checkers on line.

I'm probably being overly cautious but any help gratefully received before I press order.

Thank you.

Some of the factory-installed parts can be distributed to market sometimes under different part numbers.
Best way is to check it out on the official parts catalog using your VIN.
If you don't mind sending your VIN to me via a private message, I can look it up.

Brilliant, thank you very much for your help.

Just wanted to ask if on the ST, does your suspension feel soft when pushing down on the boot floor?
I was fitting a boot guard and noticed how the suspension drops very easily with a lightish push, however when driving the car it does feel stiff and the passengers in the back have commented on the firmness.

I think I know what you mean, there's a bit more movement than you'd expect. I guess it might just be because the ST has a longer rear overhang than the hatch and there is more leverage when pushing down.

Yeh maybe!
