Fitment questions

Will a coil spring from a 2016 Passat fit my 2013 Passat?

The B7 Passat ran from 2010 to 2015, and the B8 generation took over from 2015 onwards, so a 2016 car is B8 and a 2013 car is B7 — these are different platforms and the springs are not interchangeable. Stick to sourcing a spring from another B7 (2010–2015) for your 2013 car. Ask the breaker to confirm against your registration to be sure.

Does the Volkswagen Passat actually have coil springs?

Yes — the Passat uses coil springs as part of its suspension setup, with a MacPherson strut arrangement at the front and a multi-link rear on most variants from the B6 generation (2005–2010) onwards. Earlier generations also used coil springs, so this is a genuine and commonly replaced part on the Passat. Confirm the exact arrangement on your specific year with the breaker if you are unsure.

Does it matter which trim level my Passat is — will a spring from an S fit an SE or an SE Business?

Trim level — whether S, SE, SE Business, or Elegance — does not affect which coil spring was fitted, so you do not need to match trim when sourcing a used spring. What does matter is the generation (B6, B7, B8), the axle position (front or rear), and the side (nearside or offside for certain fitments). Be aware that some spring rate variants may exist for different suspension specifications, so confirm the full details with the breaker against your registration.

Does engine size affect which coil spring I need on the Passat?

In general, the coil spring specification can vary with the weight of the vehicle, and larger or heavier engines can influence this. For most like-for-like replacements within the same generation, a spring from a similar engine-size car is the safest match. Confirm the engine size of the donor car with your breaker against your own registration to avoid any mismatch.

Will a coil spring from a B6 Passat (2005–2010) fit a B7 (2010–2015)?

The B6 and B7 generations share some engineering, but the B7 was a significant revision and suspension components do not reliably cross between them. We would not assume a B6 spring fits a B7 without verification — name the generation boundary clearly when speaking to the breaker and ask them to confirm compatibility against both registrations before purchasing.

Does it matter whether my Passat is a saloon or estate when buying a coil spring?

Yes, body style can matter — the estate (Variant) is heavier than the saloon, and the rear springs in particular may be rated differently to account for the additional load. Always tell the breaker both the body style and the generation of your car when requesting a quote. This is especially relevant for rear springs, so confirm against your registration rather than assuming a saloon spring will suit an estate.
