Replacing Electronic Shock Absorbers

Post by Bubs101 »

Is it possible to install standard shock absorbers in place of electronic shock absorbers for a VW Scirocco 2 ltr. GT TDi 2010 model?

I think it will physically fit but you will have the DCC light flashing as the plug wont be connected

As well as the LED flashing on the switch, depending upon the year of the car, you may also get an error message in the cluster. If your car displays a message on the cluster when you change the settings then it will more than likely store an error message under the "vehicle status" menu and have it popnup with a ping everytime you start the car.
