T6 Multivan - How to identify T28, T30, T32

[BeanzBaxter]

Noob owner based in Australia - 2017 T6 TDI340 Comfortline Multivan. I'm looking to upgrade my suspension to B14 coilovers, however I'm unsure which kit to get - T28/T30 or the T32?

Any help would be great!

I am not sure about the Multivan as it has meant different things to different nations. I understand the Multivan in the EU for instance is the same as the Caravelle in GB having 3 rows of seats the two rear most rows running on rails tending towards a more salubrious interior. The Multivan in GB and the Caravelle in the EU have fixed seats and tends not to be so plush or well appointed leans to be more commercial. In GB the Caravelle is normally T30. Others with Australian knowledge will be better informed. I would not have thought there would be a huge difference between T28 and T30 but T32 usually has different front suspension to cater for heavier commercial loads.

Behind your air filter should be sticker with the load rating (the first number - not the red circled "1")
T28 - 2800kg
T30 - 3000kg
T32 - 3200kg

Or just have a look at the mount of the front shocks - they are different on a T32.

The top line on the example sticker above gives you the weight rating in kilos
As per the above 3000 kg = T30

All standard vans/kombi have a standard weight rating either 2800, 3000 or 3200 kg but Multivans (caravelles as they are called in the UK) can have a unique weight rating sometimes eg 3060 or another specific digits, if this is the case prob safer to have an actual look like @Frigo110 says then you can be sure what you have as there are only two types, theres T32 suspension then theres everything else

Hmm my sticker doesn't have any weights listed.

Does this mean anything to anyone? Google isn't really helping me...

My eating plate seems to be blank. But my suspension looks like this: Do I have a T28/T30 or T32?

As per my link above, in NZ (and looks like Australia as well) they do not put the weight rating on the VIN label.
The label is on the drivers side B pillar, the but weights are blank.
I only know my van is a T30 because it was shown in the build sheet I got from the dealer when I purchased the van.
