VW Passat CC / Tiguan / Eos Front Electronic Shock Absorber Strut 3C0413031D

Product overview

This front shock absorber strut is a replacement for Volkswagen models fitted with electronically controlled dampers, referenced to OE number 3C0413031D. The listing describes it as an electric shock absorber, so it is aimed at vehicles with adaptive chassis control, where a failed damper can cause a harsh ride, warning lights and reduced body control.

Vehicle compatibility

The listed fitment table runs to 100 rows of Volkswagen models, mainly:

• Passat sedan and Variant, including 4Motion and BlueMotion
• Passat CC and CC 4Motion, 2008–2016
• Passat Alltrack
• Tiguan and Tiguan 4Motion, 2007–2018
• Eos 1.4, 2.0, 3.2 and 3.6
• Touran Cross

The title also mentions Golf and air suspension. The listed 3Q0 numbers belong to a newer VW platform than 3C0413031D, so not every vehicle in the table will use this exact damper. Only vehicles equipped with electronic damping can use this part.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Electronic dampers require the strut to be removed and the electrical connector refitted carefully. After installation, a diagnostic scan and basic setting of the damping system may be required. We recommend professional installation by a VW-experienced workshop, replacing both front dampers together and completing a wheel alignment.

Fitment checks before ordering

Confirm that your vehicle has electronic damping and match the OE number on your existing strut, or check by VIN, before ordering.

Package inclusions

1 x front shock absorber with mount, as listed. Top mount bearings, springs and fasteners are not included unless stated.
