Suspension Front springs

slowhand · 9th September 2007, 00:18

I have favour to ask.
I suspect that when the dealer changed my front shocks they fitted the units for a diesel, as rthe car seems to be riding slightly higher at the front than it did before.

Would a few of you have a quick look under your front arches, the springs should have a couple of painted spots on them, and I think the paint is a different colour for petrol and diesel.

My car is the petrol 1.8 and has 2 blue spots on the springs.

I would go to the dealer and ask but well I would feel really daft looking round all the cars in the dealership. Or insinuating they had done it wrong if they hadn't.

Thanks in advance for your help

Mine's a 1.8 and the springs are marked with two pale blue spots, hope that helps.
