Identification problem
Hello all. I have a 2004 V40 2litre sports model. I have a broken spring on the front so am planning to replace both front. They have been replaced before a few years ago by the local garage so cannot guarantee they are OEM in fact I suspect they are not. Looking on the net one site lists no less than 12 different front springs they say fit my car. Can anyone suggest how I choose? Because it is a SPORT model does this mean it has a SPORT or different suspension? I have tried to find the OEM part number but the on line catalogue also lists a number of options. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

The best way to determine the suspension set up is to read the code on the VIN plate on the firewall under the bonnet. I think it is on the bottom line and will look something like 3AY2AZ. That will give you the full spec for the front strut, front spring, front antiroll bar, rear strut, rear spring and rear roll bar. There are various options for struts, springs and roll bars.

Yes looked again. The code is 3AV3AZ. Please ignore previous post. Now deleted.
Thank you. How do I interpret this code please. Does anyone have a recommendation for a make of replacement springs or know who the OEM supplier was? Last edited by acousticplayer; Dec 22nd, 2023 at 11:13. Reason: Wrong information |
