Here are some part numbers I got awhile back.
Model: 5000 Sedan/Wagon/Turbo (Incl. Quattro) Year: 84-88
KONI
Front: 86-2149
Rear: 80-2762 - these are the red - special "D"
I have the reds installed on the rear of the charcoal wagon and they are
just fine on the lowest setting. The yellows I understand are very stiff
and lowest setting about as firm as the reds highest setting. I have been
happy with the reds.
Bilsteins -
Front P36-0370
Rears BE5-2593
Both shox.com and Bavarian Parts, Ltd. Mike Murphy [vag at bavarianparts.com]
had them.

[I have been trying to locate H&R spings and Koni struts for my 88 5k tq.
I managed to find the Koni's but I am getting strange answers. A couple
of places said they are not available for this car, one said the parts
they are quoting are not the Koni reds nor the yellows, however another
shop said the same part number was the Koni reds.
Could someone help me identify them please.
The front ones are part# 862149 and the rear 802762. Are these correct?
Which Konis are these? The cost is about $800 CAN for the set. (US $500)
Regarding H&R it seems to be a bigger issue. Since Eibach is not
available any longer I don't have a lot of options, however the places
that quoted me are looking at about $ 500 CAN for the set of H&R. (
about US $ 310) Does this sound right?
Thanks in advance,
Zsolt]
