Front Springs from 461 G280cdi

Any idea on these springs?
4633210400
I'm not sure what the 2 color stripes are either, probably due to my color blindness. They came from a G280cdi demonstration vehicle and are new

Here is what it shows in EPC - PERMITTED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT: 5400 KG

Figuring out the color stripes would go along way, I do know that they are not the squirrel grey/white as those have a different part number.
Interestingly, they are not progressive. All the coils are the same thickness thru the length of the spring

Re: Front Springs from 461 G280cdi

There is a color code known to most electricians and engineers that goes like this:
BadBoysRapeOurYoungGirlsButVioletGaveWillingly
Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Purple Gray White
B - B - R - O - Y - G - B - V - G -W
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
I doubt this is effective, but who knows?
So, is it grey and green or green and gray?
85 or 58
Then again it may be the year: 85
Or maybe a test weight of 5800 KG?
It may have been marked by the guy that tested the pressure on the assembly line.


I just noticed That I left out the yellow, edited it.

Yes, they are grey green stripes as you suggested "85."
I'll see what I can find from there
