could be, but I honestly cannot believe the lube solves the sound issue
It did in my case. They applied it 1 week ago and no sound yet. I'll keep you posted when it reappearscould be, but I honestly cannot believe the lube solves the sound issue
okay, keep us posted! I am going to dealer's next week, will try to ask them about the lubeIt did in my case. They applied it 1 week ago and no sound yet. I'll keep you posted when it reappears
That's exactly the issue I had. When I unplugged the DCC fuse, the sound was gone. When I plugged it back, the sound reappeared. This grease solution fixed it for the momment. We'll see how it goes in time, but they recommended to do it every year.
If you take the relevant fuse out do you know, or will say from your experience, what is the equivalent DCC setting the shocks default to; Comfort, Sport or Cupra?
I'm thinking about my one year old VZ Ateca, which has got bobbling from the front and crashing from the near side rear, to do a fuse out test.
I've got it booked into my preferred dealer but they can't look at it until mid-July (seven weeks away). :-k :-k

Just my assumption it would be towards comfort, as you are disabling the connection for current to open or close those oil flow valves.
Or might be set a desired configuration and unplug the fuse it might stay there.

It was a bit extreme and not right under warranty but my car is now quiet as a mouse after installing kw plug and play coilovers.......its ridiculous that they not only cant fix it but unwilling to try, its all vag parts and unless vw pull the plug on monroe or the affected part numbers you have no chance.
^^^^ Agreed. That’s why I'm sorely tempted to get replacement shocks, probably Bilstein B6 DampTronic (DCC), as I want to preserve OE ride height.
I appreciate Coilovers are the ultimate, my son has Ohlins on his FK8 Civic Type R. Really firm but, as you suggest, quiet as a mouse.

Quick update regarding lubing/greasing the OG shock - I can confirm it does not work which was obvious but I had to try. Now looking to alternative DCC providers, e.g. Bilstein...
Currently driving the car without the fuse #47 and it is a quiet and peaceful
However it is not a permanent solution, especially for those who want to take advantage of stiffer ride sometimes.

If you find new compatible shocks, let us know too!Quick update regarding lubing/greasing the OG shock - I can confirm it does not work

Kw are the only current plug and play direct replacement that keeps all your factory settings , but if you want to delete your dcc there are other options .....
^^^^ My research suggests Bilstein B6 DampTronic retain DCC functionality with the aspect of working with standard springs / ride height.
