Thanks for the info. Very helpful.

Hi does anyone know what this is? It's the 2.00 litre diesel

Yes seems that it's just valving. B6 and b6 damptronic are apples and oranges. I've put in B4 damptronic and at first I couldn't tell the difference in the different modes sport normal comfort. I now can after a period but some say it shouldn't change...it seemed to loosen up for me. I'm not ecstatic about comfort mode....it's better than the wallowing originals but not as great as I would like...I have 4wd which some reporters say makes things worse v 2wd. What I would say is I'd imagine the b6 to offer no real advantages. The sport mode in B4 is stiff as a board so with the b6 you would probably get the same in sport and a stiffer comfort mode.

You can download a bilstein app and put in the car. You will get the shocks available. The damptronics are twin tube.

This is not the case with the damptronic versions which Mr Fizz is enquiring about.

B6 are yellow and B4 black. The B6 are marketed as more sporty. Slightly more expensive than B4 but not much in it. Internals the same quality wise.

B6 are harder than the B4 so definitely B4 for comfort.

Thanks for looking. The shocks I bought are b4 damptronic shocks. They are the like for like replacement shocks for DCC suspension whereas the b16 are much firmer. See photo

The guy at Bilstein was very clear. He said he'd been doing it for years. If there were no errors appearing I would have to take the dampers off the car and send them in to be tested. He said that was the "only way" they could be tested. I guess I would warn people that they are very much on their own buying these dampers as Bilstein practically speaking don't want to know. I am wondering whether there is a plug and play issue with these dampers and it needs new software or what. It's all very frustrating.

Ask me to take the car to them and they could test drive it and see it is obviously not working.

I have installed the Bilstein b4. There are no errors in in the damping on Obd 11. However there is no difference between the modes and it’s basically hard. I even pulled out the fuse for the electronic damping and the damping remained the same. I called Bilstein UK who told me that if there are no errors I would have to take the damper off the car and send it to them for testing….they couldn’t tell otherwise. Highly impractical. They basically couldn't care less if there were no errors. I’m starting to feel like I’ve been scammed as I have no active suspension now. Are they just pedalling non active suspension as active?

Could somebody run the live data test in wheel dampening. I'm trying to work out if this test result (last test in OBD eleven) is normal

I have recalibrated the DCC...screenshot is after that.

Well took it out for a decent spin and I can’t tell any difference between the modes. I’ve reset it, taken it back to the installation garage who couldn’t find an issue. The only strange thing I’ve found is this on Obd 11. Anyone know about this?

The electrics are all fitted. I've checked that. So I'm not sure what mistake they could have made. Bilstein sell these as plug and play.
