Today wanted to add lower seats for springs whitch were missing and saw that one spring is broken.

What would be correct part number for standart springs for 1.4tdi AMF without OSS?

It is very good price for Monroe SP3436 but it is for 1.2tdi and 1.4. 1.4tdi not listed.

Buf there is is very good price for Monroe SP3436 (8Z0511115AM) but it is for 1.2tdi and 1.4. 1.4tdi not listed. Maybe somebody tried ?
 
How did you get the springs out; did you need to unbolt the shock, or did can you use a clamp to supress them?

Surely the point why it is not listed is the 1.2tdi and 1.4 (petrol) are the light variants of the A2 and the 1.4tdi is heavier and needs meatier springs.

As said, remove the shock absorber bottom nut and bolt, jack up the rear both sides (safely!) and the back axle will pivot down under its own weight to uncompress the springs for removal. Note the two nuts and bolts are supposed to be replaced, but wise to replace at least the nuts as they are single use self-locking nuts.

So bought one used spring from sraper with same color dots. A bit rusty but it would be ok for 10 EUR. Will fix rusty spots and install
