Rear Spring & Bump Stop Replacement - Octavia 2 & similar models (without spring compressor)

Please subscribe to my channel if the video was helpful. Thank you! 👉    / @carsandtools   🐙

My coil springs were starting to rust (after 10 years, 130 000 km) and the bump stops were long gone. This started to be extremely noticeable with a bike rack on.

Luckily the replacement is fairly easy and can be done without coil spring compressor (I have a bunch of those, but none of them small enough to fit). Luckily it was so much easier to just disconnect the lower control arm and just taking the spring out with the help of jack stands and a jack.

Generally this process should be applicable to many other VAG cars—Skoda, Seat, Volkswagen and Audi cars of this class (size-wise, Golfs, Leons, A4s etc.) and era (2004 to 2013-ish?).

Main parts:
THIS WILL DIFFER FOR DIFFERENT ENGINES, BODY STYLES AND TRIMS, CONSULT WITH ETKA OR AUTO PARTS STORE! This is for my 2011 Skoda Octavia 2 Combi 1.6 MPI:
1K0511115BC - coil springs (I got aftermarket Kayaba KYB RA6240)
1K0512297C and 1K0512149B - spring caps (I got aftermarket Borsehung B11367 and B11365)
3C0511359 - bump stops with dust cover (I got aftermarket Kayaba KYB 910157)

Miscellaneous other parts I didn’t replace but technically I should have to be 100 % by the book:
N90648402 - Upper two bolts holding the shock spring—should be replaced every time (I didn’t)
N91066201 - Lower bolt for the shock spring, also should be replaced every time
N10304102 - nut for the shock spring piston
N10106402 - nut (M12 × 1.5) for the lower control arm
