I didn't know that also, but there was somebody who sold koni's on 'marktplaats.nl' and told me he had seen both of them, but had only the 340 1.4 version left..
That's new to me too. I always thought there was only one version of red front Konis for all 300s. You could always ask the seller which type he has fitted. I could make a calculated guess at the part number, as I bought a set from him once (which Jos has now).

I've just learnt something new. There are also different typs of konis for the rear... I guess
How do I know. Because I have to sets for the rear
They have the same length, so they will fit.
Does anyone know the difference? Both have the same 'koni number': 80-2351

Interesting! Does the instruction manual mention any difference?

Today I looked on both pairs.
Both have the right serial number: 80-2351
But on the koni's there is another number.
One pair has the number 1998 on it, and the other pair has the number 9205..
does anyone know what these numbers mean? Production number?

Due to the fact that my dad now is working in the UK temporary (Blackpool big blue hotel / Lytham St. Annes queenshotel ; any V3M member near?) I have installed my snowcap and bumper vents on the grey 360 (from dad), because mine will be off the road for a long time....

@ Volvo tour
This weak the postman had also some nice presents for me:
- Volvo 240 / 260 / 760 Alarm NOS:
- Volvo 300 saloon ELECTRIC AERIAL NOS:
Both will come on my blue

I also don't like it, I'm only gonna use it for the night evenements of V3C
And maybe when I'm gonna make a trip to Sweden, it seems to be very dark there at night...
