DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) Retrofit

The Exec's already come 20mm lower than other T6's.
imo if you want to reduce the wheel arch gap consider a slightly larger tyre 235/55/18; 235/60/17.
The DCC on an Exec is a lovely set up, which I would be very mind full of changing. just my thoughts

The H&R catalogue states that the springs do fit vehicles with Dynamic chassis control of course the drop would be 40 mm less what the vehicle already has , so approx. another 20 to 25 mm I guess .
I cant see any reason why A R B cant work there aren't any comments to the contrary in the H&R catalogue . simply a choice between Xenon and non Xenon
With our sport adjustable damping shocks we tune the valves to cope with bigger wheels and this cant be done with DCC so caution on going too big

Thank you, I’ll get in touch to discuss further.
 
Thanks Chris,
I was just looking at a photo of it a wondered that. I think it has 18” fitted at the moment so maybe bigger rims are the answer.

Thats mine with standard Exec springs, and slightly larger tyres (about 11mm bigger all round) 235/55/18, oh and wheel spacers
 
I like the DCC but swapped mine out for Bilstein B14’s and H&R ARB’s just for aesthetic reasons. I also kept the full DCC parts in case I fancy swapping back sometime. Bognor did mine.

After with Bilsteins

Yours is the only T6 "Limited edition GEN6 " to have DCC on stock height suspension (not 20mm lower on dynamic suspension suspension" I Think.
 
My Gen Six has DCC and I am not sure that it’s 20mm lower (sorry for the snow foam, let’s the best side shot I have)....

Getting it lowered is next on my list...

Hello everyone, I have a VW T5 GP c 087 BCM, after installing the T6 full led headlights I decided to make a controller to control the standard DCC suspension. I installed the DCC kit six months ago and did a counter-controller and tested it. It was necessary to remove the CAN bus, do not use sensors and binding to the car, so that you do not need to change or change something in the car and installation is possible on any car (T5 c 2003) .I managed to make a controller to control and get 3 suspension modes . I used any regular button with any icon (no matter, you can use the regular one from T6). For installation do not need the regular wiring only need the shock absorber and my controller, which simply plugs in to the power supply. There is a display of 0.96 inches for displaying the mode and if there are errors indicating the number of the shock absorber, I can draw a diagram for connecting the controller if it is interesting. Modes comfort as if the amortizers are disabled, sport as if the amortizers are rigidly fixed, there are no rolls. Modes can be "shifted" but this I can pass the program.
Here is a video of the work:
 
I am interested in your wiring diagram, so please post it here whenever you are ready :)

here is schematically, wiring conducted on the existing highways on the bottom of the car, to the passenger seat, entered 4 highways under the driver's seat, there is a small interchange for power and protection fuses, the unit itself is in the glove compartment for now, the screen is temporarily built into one of the torpedo plugs, the button used ESP OFF, but turned it over to distinguish it from the original function. The controller controls the DCC shock absorbers using 3 pre-configured modes , but I can adjust the modes depending on my wishes or the driver 's wishes.

Are you willing to share your controller wiring diagram and its logic or maybe this is something you have planned to commercialise?

Yes, there are plans to make a commercial version when I ride with this unit and test it longer.
 
The test shows that everything is stable and works well. I have invested a lot in developing a stable scheme and software. The price I see a block with wiring and connectors 350-370 euros. Insert the display into the button plug and connect any button without locking or one of the regular buttons on the front panel. This price is quite real and very profitable, if you take the cost of a regular installation and the problems associated with it. You can put on a VW T5 c 2003, where regular installation is not possible at all.
 
Also, does anybody know the part number for 3 level sensors? I forgot to include them in my part list.
G76 Rear left vehicle level sender (DCC)
G77 Rear right vehicle level sender (LED range)
G78 Front left vehicle level sender (DCC)
G289 Front right vehicle level sender (DCC & LED range)

DCC uses the same vehicle level senders as LED range control system(LWR).
So I am going to reconfigure my module 55 LWR to read levels via CAN instead of directly.
Then transfer my existing G289 (Front right) & G77 (Rear right) wiring from 55(LWR) to 14(DCC) module
and next add only one extra vehicle level sender G78 (Front left).

Part numbers are as follows:
G289 Front right vehicle level sender - 7E0941273
G77 Rear right vehicle level sender - 7E0941274
G78 Front left vehicle level sender - 7E0941273A
G76 Rear left vehicle level sender - 7E0941274A (I don't need this one as I am going to use RR instead ;) )

We do indeed lower many Golf R s with DCC but the lowering kits are very subtle 20 to 25 mm at most . I would advise driving in sport mode more so as the stiffer shock can compensate for lack of travel


New to the forum and perhaps not T6 focused. Managed to get some DCC shocks for my golf r on 0KM from a test car which had immediately swapped to Bilsteins. @Roberts tactic of getting second hand parts looks a shrewd move, yet there are a few concerns for me.

1) The DCC controller being locked to vin and car model/settings/height.

2) I'm on the fence as to whether the controller to get is 5Q0907376 or 5Q0907376A or 5Q0907376B or 5Q0907376c

3) The need for the 3 level sensors and accelerometers if you already have Dipping Bi-Xenons

4) Is it actually worth doing a hybrid method by installing DCC controller and plugging the wiring into some Bilstein Damptronics? Assuming hitting comfort/sport on the HUD worked seamlessly with the Bilsteins?

Anyone come across these queries before?
