PAINT Pattern for coil spring front 130bhp?

[Propagandazoo]

Anyone know what or how to find out the correct strut coil paint pattern for a PD130 2003 Ibiza Sport. Both my front absorbers are too corroded to work it out?

Maybe start with getting hold of a copy of your car's CAR DATA, that will provide you with most if not all the options, in terms of PR codes, applied to the initial build of your car. Be warned, many after market spring suppliers only supply say 6 spring options where VW Group offer maybe 15 spring options.

Edit:- any SEAT dealership's parts department can provide a print out of that either free or at a small charge, just quote your reg number.

Yeah Seat like all VAG group dealerships it's not so easy to get suspension coil paint patterns from. It's £114 per coil genuine... it's a 2003 car so that's old to be spending that on a coil...It would outlive most other parts...

It's a ASZ engine.

Anyone know the pattern. There are four variants but need 130bhp one.

Assuming there is quite a difference in coil strength and performance if getting the wrong one.

Well, in your case, it will be by "weight" so same as any other same age Ibiza 130PD ManTran and probably "Sports suspension" - really just get a copy of your CAR DATA and off you go, no guessing.

Edit:- sorry you talk about getting struts, so I'm guessing your are replacing the top mounts, top bearing, struts and springs - is so, again beware that there are a few strut damper options, again defined by a PR code like the springs.

If I cannot find a newer second hand one from a VRS or FR (less work). I would probably replace springs 6QO 0411105 BF and mount and bearing 6N0 412 249 C. Think strut replacement might be overkill.

Fair enough, I was going by you writing "Both my front absorbers are too corroded to work it out?".
