Difference in Avant springs?

[Andydote]

Hello all!
My rear spring has snapped so I'm sourcing a new one. When looking online there's 2 options - with sports or without sports.

What does this mean?
My 2004 avant 1.9tdi 130 is the 'sport' trim, but does that include the suspension?

Any help appreciated!
Andy

Check the build sticker in the spare wheel well, the code for sports springs is 1be and normal springs is 1ba. Sports dampers are red ( unless they have been replaced ) Avant springs have a different spring rate to saloons due to the fact they are load carriers.

More than likely Sport , good excuse to go Eibach Pro .

Where is the label? There's nothing in my wheel well. Is it hidden!?

Service book ?

[Andydote]

Sadly that is missing. I've got history but there's no book for a label to be in.

Try under the back seat.

Hello Andy,
I have the same vehicle as you and i have just replaced both of my rear springs as 1 had broken.
The good one has a colour code of PINK, PINK, BLUE.
Would this be of use?
They are very expensive to replace from Audi, if you get OEM's you must replace both of them.
