Bumpy Ride

[DPDP]

I've had a 2018 Highline SW T6 with factory tyres fitted for a while and find the ride very bumpy when not on a smooth road. Do I have tyre pressure to high (what should they be?) Do I need to change to new tyres or upgrade suspension...expensive. Any advice would be apreciated.

Which model is it - T28, T30 or T32, and how loaded is it ?
Also, what are your tyre pressures, and how does this compare with what the manual says ?
And finally what size wheels do you have ?

Correct tyre pressure will be on the drivers B pillar

Hi Pete. T28 16 inch wheels and 60 psi this is what they came at from the dealer.

 

[Pete C]

60 psi is way too much.
Our T30 is 48 front and 42 rear lightly loaded according to the manual/ sticker.
Others go lower than this.

Thanks will definitely check out the pressures.

Forgot to mention they are the eco tyres fitted at the factory.

Get your pressure set correctly. Will transform

60PSI !!!!!!!!!

60 psi sounds about right for the eco tyres. Check what the sticker says before lowering too much.

 

[DPDP]

Checked it out Scruffy and its just below 60 psi. Thanks for your reply.

Tyre pressure is a strange one as regards the law. If you had the unfortunate misfortune to be involved in a serious incident and your tyre pressures are not set within a certain % if the vehicle manufacturers recommended pressures then the police would/ could prosecute.

Changing the shocks will give you a fabulous ride and sort all the issues , It has to be a hi quality shock my recommendation is the KONI Special active . these self adjust to the road conditions . If you need more info let me know

The standard VW shocks are poor quality and this is whats giving you the problems

 

[DPDP]

Thanks for the info Steve. I will add this to my list of future upgrades. Are you a supplier or fitter by any chance if so I may be in touch. Im based in South Yorkshire.

I have a T32 kombi and here in Surrey the roads are awful ... so what sort of cost should I budget for to change the shocks?

Thanks
