and trailer can be avoided with the use of uprated shock

absorbers and springs can also be retrofitted in many cases by a
Volkswagen workshop, unless of course they were installed
ex-factory. For allocation of the shocks and springs refer to

with stabilisation aids that can be procured in most European
countries via Volkswagen dealerships and also installed by them. |
