[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some new cars are shipped with pucks (or some more specific term) at the wheels to limit car movement during ocean/land transport. IIRC, years ago a former co-worker bought a new GTI and the dealership forgot to remove them, resulting in a harsh ride. [/quote] Really ? Hard to believe that anyone would not notice these immediately.[/quote] Transport blocks are brightly colored pucks placed underneath the strut cover and in-between the spring to further prevent the struts from bottoming out and preventing unwanted vehicle movement and damage during the shipping process. They are supposed to be removed during the pre-delivery inspection (PDI) but, since they’re not easily visible, techs easily miss them. Apparently Volkswagen mostly puts them on anything using their MQB EVO platform, which would presumably include some Audis. Not sure if other manufacturers use these.[/quote]
