The front spring code is the first two digits of the serial number (on the left of the picture you posted). The front shock absorber code is the 3rd & 4th digits. So in your case, your spring code is "marked" 65. Your shock absorber is "marked" 33. Hope this helps.

Many thanks for the explanation, the plot thickens, as you'll be able to tell I've spent far to long on this ... The 'marked 65' part number is 30714368, putting that into eBay gives a spring for a V50, some of the listings are for KYB who according to their 2018 catalogue don't do a front spring for my C30. My local Volvo dealer gave me a part number of 30715772 for an eye watering £120.50 +VAT, which so far as I can tell doesn't exist. Looking on the Kilen catalogue, the correct spring is 26016, the Volvo part is 30666204. In the end, I gave up & ordered a spring from a very helpful eBay dealer. Hopefully it'll fit & I'll never need to replace it, but if I do, I'll buy a 30714368 equivalent. For some reason, the back end springs were a lot easier to sort. Next stop, some skinned knuckles, a bit of swearing & hopefully a new MOT. Thanks again for the decode. Last edited by cancunia; Feb 24th, 2021 at 20:53. |

Is there a key to the other digits on the serial number?

Yes. Here's a breakdown of your serial number that you posted a picture of & what each digit(s) means;
Front suspension spring code (first two digits) - 65 Front suspension strut code (third & fourth digits) - 33 Front anti-sway bar code (fifth digit) - 8 Rear suspension spring code (sixth & seventh digits) - 54 Rear suspension shock code (digits 8 & 9) - 46 Rear anti-sway bar code (10th digit) - A Front suspension bump stop code (11th digit) - 7 Rear suspension bump stop code (12th digit) - 2
