Thank you all for your thoughts. Last question, should I get the other spring changed as well?
Broken springs:
- Thread starter ShooglyStu
- Start date
ideally, yes.
On the one hand, unless its ancient the sprining performance won't have degraded much - they tend to be fine, fine, fine, fine, then suddenly drop off a cliff, rather than degrade slowly like dampers do as the oil ages.
On the other, if one has gone it's likely that its counterpart won't be far behind.

Hi, hoping you (or someone else) may be able to help... T6 T28 (2018) failed MOT today because of a broken rear spring, which also has 4 yellow marks , same as in your photo. Please can you help with identifying which model number of rear spring is required to replace them? Thanks
Parts lookup suggests it should be 7E0511115M - check your option codes sticker, this is suitable for PR-1BA, 2MF, 2ML and 0YB.
Replace in pairs.
Thank you phazer, very helpful. I hear mixed views about using an uprated spring to account for the conversion weight - would you typically recommend replacing like for like or replacing with an uprated coil?
Thanks again. Appreciated
No worries. I'd have a chat with Steve @CRS Performance tbh he'll be able to advise what's best/will work for your setup
