:jump:
Assuming that brass dial is your adjuster, how many steps does it have, do you have the data chart for the adjustments?

What are you doing with your existing DRC system... what state is it in??

9 settings I believe. Will check the paperwork and post up if i find any relevant info.

The original DRC was perfect until the leak. When it's taken apart i'll get the mechanic to check where the leak was from (hopefully not from the shocks).. If the shocks are ok, will sell as parts to go towards the recent work (starter motor, suspension, brakes etc).. it's been an expensive month!

How many miles have you got, and I could be interested if the shocks are in decent condition

Coilovers fitted 😀

Set the height slightly higher than I want it at as it should set a little lower after being driven a little. Will make final adjustments next weekend.

Will measure it up to decide how big spacers I need too.

Set the damping to 4 (around half way but a little to the firmer side) and it feels great.

Coded the DRC out (unchecked the elec suspension options using Vagcom and removed 2 fuses on the passenger's side).

Happy days 😀
