Used coil springs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the Volkswagen LT (both the first generation 1975–1996 and the second generation LT2 1996–2006) uses a leaf-spring suspension setup on both axles, not coil springs. Coil springs were never fitted to any variant of the LT, regardless of engine size, payload rating, or body style. If your suspension is worn or broken, you are most likely looking for leaf springs, shock absorbers, or associated bushes rather than a coil spring.
It is very unlikely — the LT is a panel van and chassis-cab derived from a heavy-duty commercial platform, and it uses multi-leaf springs all round rather than coil springs at any point in its production run from 1975 to 2006. If you have a broken or sagging spring, the part you need is a leaf spring, not a coil spring. A good starting point is to tell your breaker which axle is affected (front or rear) and your vehicle's GVW rating, as payload variants can differ in spring specification.
The LT28, LT35, and LT46 designations refer to different payload and GVW ratings, and heavier-rated variants do use stiffer and sometimes physically different leaf-spring packs to handle the greater loads — so the number in the model name genuinely matters when sourcing springs. However, in all cases the suspension type remains leaf springs throughout the LT range; there are no coil-spring variants regardless of the payload rating. When contacting a breaker, quote your GVW from the vehicle identification plate rather than relying solely on the model name badge.
No — engine choice does not alter the suspension type on the LT, and neither the petrol nor the diesel variants were ever built with coil springs. The leaf-spring layout is common across the range from the early carburettor petrol engines through to the later TDI diesels of the LT2 generation (1996–2006). If a seller is advertising a coil spring as fitting a VW LT, it is worth double-checking whether they may be confusing it with a different Volkswagen van such as the Transporter T4 or T5, which do use coil springs at the front.
