Hi All,

Please, can anybody give me a piece of advice, what I can do with a broken front spring in an old MK1 sport version.

I have tried numerous car parts shops, nobody has the coil spring, everybody point me to the VW dealership for replacement.

I have called them £225 each, need a pair. So without labour £450 just the part.

The spring has a colour code, 1 WHITE 1 YELLOW 1 BLUE. It is factory lowered kit, around 30 mm, this is what I was told.

Is there any alternative solution?

I saw lowering kit from 250 pound with 4 spring kit that is 30 mm as well, what If I buy something like that?  Any breaker who might have this part?

Any advice would be great, even if somebody makes them. Or have a lowering kit which does the same and fits to the shock absorber.

 

Thanks in advance.

Probably cheaper to go for a complete set of lowered springs (of a reputable make) from eBay
