UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Mainly for the MK4 but the rest may be the same? I've recently (last night) found out that after owning my konigsports for over a year now I can actually adjust the rear damper question is, how?

Some can be adjusted from the top, some you have to dismantle to adjust so does anyone know which it is for the mk4?

I would look in the manual except i havn't got one!

Any help appreciated and asap!

Thanks

P.S. I wasn't sure what forum to put this in and as I'm after a quick response I thought here would be best so if an admin feels the need to move it to a more appropiate section of the forum then please do so

I JUST GOT SOME FOR MY MK1 GOLF BUT DONT THINK MINE ARE DAMPER ADJUSTABLE, EVEN IF THEY WERE I COULDNT TELL U.

no need to shout....

Well i done it earlier

Took about 2 hours start to finish (had to take them off the car) wasnt difficult at all though i would give it a 2 spanner rateing

Can do a guide / write up if anyones interested

come on then share your knowledge

yeah, and show us some pics

Well I cant get pics cause the morning after i adjusted it the car went into the bodyshop for 3 weeks

this is the basic jist of it ..

1. Remove the shock absorber from the vehicle and hold it vertically with the lower mounting attachment in a vise.

2. Fully compress the shock absorber, at the same time turning the dust cover or piston rod slowly counter-clockwise, until you feel the adjuster engage into the recesses of the foot valve assembly.

NOTE: Some shock absorbers include a bump rubber concealed under the dust cover and this must be removed prior to adjusting. Do not forget to re-install after adjusting.

3. The shock may have been adjusted previously. Therefore, check whether the shock absorber is in the unadjusted position by keeping it compressed and gently turning further counter-clockwise while counting the half turns until a stop is felt. This is the minimum rebound position.

4. To increase the rebound damping, turn the piston rod clockwise. The typical adjustment range is 3-5 half turns.

5. Extend the shock absorber vertically for at least 3/8" without turning in order to disengage the adjusting mechanism. The dust cover or piston rod may now be turned freely

in female terms please??????/

I'm too lazy to explain it MSN me maybe
