I'm ordering suspension for my 1.4 TDI (OSS) 1GA standard susp.. It is a myriad of part numbers, VINs and equipment codes, tabs of forums post, part catalogues, and parts sellers. It is dizzying After googling english and german forums I've worked out that OYK is code for a weight class for rear springs. J24 is code for weight class for fronts (these are option codes from the service book).
The word here seem to be that A2 springs weren't the bees knees. Too stiff and linear. AFAIK my springs are not broken, but they are old, and I need new dampers at least at the front. (Monroe OESpectrum, and it would be a shame to destroy them if springs are weak.). I am driving around with shot front shocks,.
Any opinions on slighty downgrading spring weight class? E.g. from J24 to J26.
Autodoc are sold out on the correct weight class for the rear (0YK).
FRONT
correct springs for my car is J24:
which is stiffer than "comfort package" J26:
REAR
correct springs for my car is 0YK:
which is stiffer than "comfort package" 0YJ:
I wonder what G22 comfort package springs are meant for. I realize it has different (longer) bump stops..
This is from Monroe part catalogue, and how should I interpret this? The E-numbers is the old Reflex numbers that many people seem to have used on this forum. Autodoc says the front dampers 742024SP are not for my car (but had no issue with the rear damper...). Monroe part catalogue won't disclose what their symbols mean... I am left guessing.
First row:
2nd row:
3rd row:
My A2 has 1GA option code which means standard suspension.
Any help is appreciated.
