Just purchased 2 rear Sachs coil springs - at least that's what I ordered, from a well known on-line retailer. They are rear coil springs for a 2002 Skoda Fabia Hatchback 1.4 8v (engine code AQW). The Sachs part number I gleaned from their catalogue is 996 657 (OE equivalent part number 6Q0 511 115 K). One came in a Sachs box, the other in a KME box. KME, as far as I can tell, are not affiliated with Sachs, Boge, or the parent company ZF. I queried the different box at the time, but the sales man just said it was the same spring in a different box. If what I have is a Sachs spring in another box I'm happy. If I've paid more for Sachs and got two of the cheap ones with one in a Sachs box... The ends are jagged, and not cut straight and flat - although they are covered with the black coating. The one in the Sachs box, it states 74351 T268567. The one in the KME box says 74351 T324524. There is no branding or other markings. Found this picture of a Sachs spring. I notice it clearly identifies the brand, and the ends are cut straight. Now the thing is what to do if they are not genuine. I'd hate the retailer to get away with it. Suppose there's nothing I could do other than request a refund, contact trading standards, and the manufacturer? TIA
