Spring markings & Nivomat equipped car query

[37 RUBY]

Hello

Two queries in one post.

I'm looking at replacing shocks and springs on my 2015 XC70 D5 SE LUX AWD.

It has a standard system. A consideration for the rear is to fit Nivomats at the rear. I tow an 1800kg caravan on a regular basis and at 89k (nearly run in) miles the suspension is ok but not at its best.

I've witnessed & assisted from a distance, forum user Agro, who went down this route but unlike him I want to match springs to shocks/vehicle model variation if possible.

Query No 1 - I would like to identify what springs I have on now. I have VIDA(still learning) and can see that there are several variants of spring codes/markings for my vehicle.

Earlier versions of my vehicle had the codes on the VIN plate sticker at the bottom left of that sticker in a long series of numbers but this doesn't appear to be the case on mine.


....please can anyone advise how/where to identify the spring markings/code?

Query No 2 - Is there anyone running a similar vintage and specced model already fitted with Nivomat, who would provide me their VIN and spring markings (assuming someone can advise how to work them out) so I can use VIDA to select the correct combination?

Any help appreciated.

I've an '09 with Nivomat. Would that do? D5 AWD. SE Lux

Hello XC70Virgin

Thanks for your reply

It's got to be worth ago.

I'll send you a private message, we don't need VIN's broadcasting in public if we can help it.

XC90 Nivomats - Link

XC90 for springs or "Heavy Duty" XC70 springs

You could also upgrade the front springs to XC90 as well

That's a good find Puffster. Thank you.

I take it they came as per picture on the Aersus website; minus the top mounts?

Thanks for the help apersson....unfortunately I'm struggling to apply that or anything I can find online to what my VIN plate shows.
