When the modified vehicle is brought forward to an inspection or acceptance test, according to EC directive, Brakes, 71/320/EEC, the centre-of-mass height must be mathematically proved using a loaded vehicle. Bases of calculation and permitted centre-of-mass heights can be requested from Volkswagen AG.

If the centre of mass lies high, provide stabilizer bars and reinforced shock absorbers (if available). If the centre-of-mass height exceeds 960 mm at the LT28 / LT35, it is required to use the stabilizer bar at the back (OBC) and reinforced shock absorbers. Permitted centre-of-mass height: 1050 mm. If the centre-of-mass height exceeds 1,100 mm at the LT 46, it is required to use the reinforced stabilizer bar at the back (OBD).

Centre-of-mass heights - base vehicle: (empty, including driver with 75kg)

Volkswagen AG does not provide information on the road/braking/steering behaviour of attachments used for loads with an unfavourable centre-of-mass position (e. g. rear, high and side loads). The attachment manufacturer is responsible that these attachments do not impede the road-holding qualities of the vehicle.
