Second Hand Volkswagen ID.7 Coil Spring

No — the Volkswagen ID.7 does not use conventional coil springs. Like many modern electric vehicles built on a dedicated platform, the ID.7 uses a multi-link rear suspension and MacPherson-strut front suspension where the spring function is handled by integrated coil-over spring and damper units rather than separate coil springs in the traditional sense, but more importantly, VW fitted the ID.7 with an air suspension option and, on standard variants, spring-damper assemblies that are integral units — confirm with a breaker exactly which suspension setup your car has against your registration. If you need the springing component for your ID.7, what you are most likely looking for is a complete spring-damper strut assembly (front) or a coil spring that forms part of a rear multi-link assembly — ask your breaker to quote by registration to ensure the correct part.

Yes, this is very possible — the ID.7 was offered with an optional adaptive air suspension (DCC with air springs) on certain variants, which replaces conventional coil springs entirely with air bellows. If your car has air suspension, a coil spring from a standard-suspension ID.7 will not be a like-for-like replacement and you would need an air spring or air strut instead. Check your vehicle's suspension type before ordering — your breaker can cross-reference by registration to confirm which setup your specific car left the factory with.

The ID.7 launched in the UK in 2023 and as of 2024-2025 remains in its first generation with no significant facelift yet introduced, so the pool of used parts is currently all from the same generation. That said, because the ID.7 is a relatively new model with limited breaker stock available, always confirm compatibility part-by-part against your exact registration with the breaker rather than assuming all examples are identical. Any running-gear changes introduced during the production run — for example relating to the GTX four-wheel-drive variant versus the standard rear-wheel-drive car — could affect suspension component fitment.

Yes, this matters significantly — the ID.7 GTX has a dual-motor four-wheel-drive layout with an additional front motor and associated front suspension assembly, which may differ from the rear-wheel-drive standard model. A front suspension component from a GTX may not be the same as one from a standard ID.7, so always tell your breaker which drivetrain your car has. Confirm fitment against your registration to be certain, as mixing parts between drivetrain variants is a real risk on this model.

Trim level alone does not determine which suspension components you need — what matters is the underlying suspension type (standard coil-over versus air suspension) and the drivetrain (rear-wheel-drive versus GTX four-wheel-drive), both of which can be specified across different trim grades. A part from a Pro S car will not necessarily be different to one from a Pro car if both have the same suspension and drivetrain setup, though higher trims were more commonly specified with optional air suspension so the probability differs. Always confirm the specific suspension setup against your registration with the breaker rather than going by trim name alone.

The ID.7 only went on sale in the UK from 2023, so it is a very new model and salvage stock at UK breakers is currently limited compared to older, more established models. You may find parts availability improves over time, but for now you should expect to contact multiple breakers and be prepared to wait — Findapart's quote system will reach a network of dismantlers simultaneously to maximise your chances. Always provide your full registration when requesting a quote so breakers can confirm the correct part for your specific variant.
