I have recently purchased a 1 year old tdi 190 4x4. It had around 6000 miles on the clock and I have added a further 2500. My only gripe is the amount of thuds, some quite load, coming from the rear suspension. It is fine on a smooth dual carriageway but on poorly maintained minor roads which account for much of my journeys it becomes quite an issue. I dial down the settings to "Comfort" every time but it makes no difference. Tyre pressures are correct but the ride sometimes feels very "wooden".

Would appreciate any comments. Thanks. John

Does the car have the DCC+ suspension option? If so then the noise is "as designed". It's an issue on all VW group models with active suspension.
