A2 3L 1.2TDi front spring color codes help?

Does anybody know what the original color codes of the front springs on an A2 1.2 3L without AC are?
I am only so far aware of A2 1.2TDi with 3x green markings on the spring.
I'm being offered a pair of front shocks and springs from a 2003 A2 1.2 3L that only had "29,000km" on the clock. The breaker rep has told me that the springs have the codes 3x light blue, 3x green. I was expecting the color codes to be 3x green so now have a doubt.

Is 3x light blue, 3x green maybe the code for 1.2TDi models without AC or simply later models? (mine is 2001)


I've seen 3x light blue, 2x green markings on the Lupo 3L. I don't believe however that the Lupo 3L have the same spring/shock strut assembly parts as the A2?

I would appreciate any pointers.

Thanks

Here's the link for one of the struts offered: http://www.autoverwertung-1a.com/Audi+A2+1+2L+TDI+3L+Bj2003+Federbein+vorn+links+05+9829+_2003-45702.html
 
The springs used depend on the L0x option code. Look inside the cover of your service book and you will either have L03, 4, 5 or 6. 3x green is one possible suitable option but not 3x light blue (grey?). If they have 3x green + 3x light blue, they are not suitable. The spring options on the Lupo 3L are all different.

Update A2 1.2 TDi 3l front spring color codes

Thanks for the reply, I have had it confirmed also from a member of the German A2 forum that 3x green, 3x light blue does not correspond to an Audi 3L

FYI:
According to the parts catalog, there was this color combination not in A2.
1.2 For the (ANY), the catalog lists the following front axle springs on: 8Z0 411 105 - 4x grau/1x green 8Z0 411 105 A - 4x grau/2x green 8Z0 411 105 B - 3x green 8Z0 411 105 C - 4x green​

Now I just have to find someone with a used spring lying around that has 3 green markings or go for a pair of new ones.
