Situation
When a shock absorber is faulty on one side (leaking, noises, etc.), often
both shock absorbers on the axle in
question are replaced.
Effect
This is not necessary for technical reasons and
Notes
IMPORTANT: Both coil springs on the relevant axle must be replaced only in
the event of
corrosion breakage!
The coil spring is allocated in the Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) under

Concept
The system detects tire inflation pressure loss
on the basis of rotation speed differences between
the individual wheels while driving.
In the event of a tire inflation pressure loss, the
diameter and therefore the rotational speed of
the corresponding wheel changes. The difference
will be
