Yesterday I was poking around my 2011 3.0L D4 HSE with the wheels off checking brake pad wear and generally being far too inquisitive. I have begun to wonder about air bag and shock absorber life (126,000km) so was taking particular note of these items. It was then I saw a few very grubby 'stickers' on the air bag outer metal casing. I cleaned the stickers off and to my surprise the front air bags and I assume shocks were manufactured / assembled in 2008. The rear air bags and shocks were dated 2009.
According to some I am getting on a bit and not well educated so I might not have this correct but I always thought that the D4 had different rated shocks to that of the D3 or was that front control bits I am confusing with shocks etc?:confused:
Am I right in thinking the shocks were/are different to the D3? Cause' if I am it begs a few more questions.
If I am wrong then no harm done and I can go back into my normal daze.
