Adjustable dampers replacement S60 2005

posted by  someone claiming to be Josh on  Mon Sep 3 13:57 CST 2012 [RELATED]

Hello,

The struts in my S60 R are totally shot, they are the adjustable kind with "comfort, sport and advanced" settings. The struts have a wire harness and this is how they are controlled. Replacements are very expensive, I mean very. So here is my question:

Can I replace with a regular strut and jumper the wiring harness plug so that I don't get a check engine light?

Thanks for any help in this area.

Made by Monroe, but Tasca is cheaper than most by 50%.

It should not set the CEL if you unplug them, but you will get a message in the info center. I would 'bite' the bullet and get new (OEM)struts and better springs.
