Schokdempers en paraboolveren 109 ex defensie

Wat is trouwens het verschil tussen een schokdemper met olie en gas??

If an oil filled one leaks you see it, if a gas filled one leaks you don't ... Sorry I couldn't resist.

I could go into the technicalities, but I'm sure there are much better qualified people here that would love to jump in.

They both work in the same way which is basically oil passes through a valve and the slower the oil passes through the stiffer the shock absorber will be. In an normal Oil filled shock absorber the top of the reservoir is filled with air, with multiple compressions the oil and air get warm and the oil starts to foam becoming less dense so passing through the valve more easily thereby reducing the damping effect. With Gas filled ones the air is replaced by an inert gas which doesn't combine with the oil so readily and thus the damping effect is still retained. Also this brings us into the territory of adjustable shock absorbers where the size of the valve can be adjusted either with a dial or using the body itself and thus the damping effect can be set from soft to hard.

als ik nog een keer nieuwe schokbrekers nodig heb voor mijn landrover worden het Bilstein B6 schokbrekers met upside down technologie. Nog minder last van schuimvorming bij extreme belasting en sterker.

I'm interested to know as if it's a known manufacturing fault I would like the batch number and then see if the ones I fitted came from the same batch so that I can get the vehicle back before it happens.

de nummers die op de schokbreker staan zijn W018570 , OE11026 en C082A3

Thanks Sander, I'll have a look.
