Just checking before buying

[skinsixx]

I've had my 20 plate T6.1 T30 199 DSG panel van, 113k miles for about 3 weeks. The long term plan is to convert to a camper. Had in for major service, cambelt and dsg service yesterday at a VAG specialist

Garage said these need looking at before MOT in October
OSF shock leaking
OSR Spring broken
Flywheel noisy.

Other than that they said it's in good nick for the mileage etc

Now coilovers, dampeners etc was at the bottom of the list of things to do, wanted to concentrate on the conversion (blown all the spare cash on sound deadening, insulation, windows, carpeting etc). So I'm thinking that I might as well sort the suspension now. Due to lack of actual cash (avoiding the credit card) I was thinking of going for the Stance+ coilovers, then upgrade them in a couple of years perhaps. On looking I spotted that some T30s require t32 versions to pair up.

Long post I know firstly I want validation that I'm making the right decision and secondly before I order them does mine require the T30 or T32 version

Muchas gracias guys.

I’d be looking for a set of second hand struts the now and keep your money until you have saved enough to do it properly
I’d imagine you would be able to pick up a set on here cheap enough
If you post up a wanted thread

Welcome to the Forum!
I'm going to make the following observations but it's just my opinion and others may disagree;
Definitely sort the broken spring and weeping shock absorber, a broken spring is an MOT fail and needs dealing with, if you are going down the road of coil overs that takes care of it.
The noisy flywheel is not an MOT issue, it may be something you want dealt with but you shouldn't worry about it in relation to the other issues or the MOT.

You can get factory suspension pretty cheap from people that have upgraded to coilovers etc
You could try members on here or even companies like @CRS Performance or @BognorMotors who regularly upgrade suspension for people and often have new or nearly new takeoffs to move on

Agree with the above, flywheel is an annoyance but not quite so time critical and not an MOT factor

 Probably not so time critical.

You have T32 struts, even if it is a T30
