Take a pic of the blue tag with your phone and look for K03-052 or K03-053

If you can't read the tag take the tip off at the inlet and count the blades, 12 is a K03 and 8 K03s

K03s technically doesn't exist, it's just something VAG owners have called the later K03 over the years and the name has stuck
