1997 V70 T5R front springs
 

One of the front springs has broken on my ex police V70 T5R.

Tried ordering a new pair but my chassis plate info does not match the system and I'm getting no where.

Does anone know what part number springs should be fitted to this model?

I do not want to fit a lowering spring set as the car already sits very low and is nice and firm as is. If I can not find replacments I will have to take the car off the road for a while to get the springs copied.

Any ideas?

1997 V70 T5R? Never come across that before... to my knowledge it was just T5 or R with T5R being solely used on the 850 models.

more info needed please, is the car auto or manual? which T5 engine does it have BS5234T2 or BS5234T3? what colour are the springs that are on it now? And any numbers on them please

cheers

The car is has a manual box.
Springs are iron oxide with no markings so not much help there. I will check the engine code.

Thanks

3546640 WHITE
3546641 BLUE
3546642 YELLOW
3546643 GREEN
3546644 BROWN
3546833 SPRING
8618256 SPRING
9489116 FRONT SPRING

These are all the numbers available on Vardis for front springs on MY 1997 V70 T5 manual

cheers

Hi Simon,

thanks for the reply. The engine code is the T3,

would that narrow the selection down any.

Hi
I have been told the Police T5 can be a bit of a hybrid using heavy duty springs and heavy duty wishbones maybe from the diesel as it is heavier do check the model there was
not a V70 T5R Regards alan

It is one of the very first v70's and comes up sometimes as and 850 T5R and otrhers as a V70 R

The suspension is (or was) quite stiff and it does sit nice and low.
Hopfully Volvo will be able to sort me out with the correct springs.

Hi Simon,

According to 2014 Vida
Springs
3546642 green
3546643 yellow
3546644 brown dynamic

Only a 8 year old thread :eek:

I ended up just fitting a set of 40mm lowering springs
