Is it possible to test the automatic suspension system on a Thema when driving? so that i wont get a unpleasant surprice when i have bought the car (i´m considering buying a Thema turbo LX 1994).

I don't know if you can test it but you should be aware that the shock absorbers for cars with this system are VERY VERY expensive to replace

Thanks Alan
I am aware of this. What is the price of a replacement if needed? (so i know what i´m up against).

Hello Villads,

german pricelist, edition 6/2001:
front: 648,47 Euro incl. 16% MwSt. (VAT)
rear: 606, 63 Euro incl. 16%
for each shock absorber.

Funny, isn't it?

Greetings from cologne,
Martin

Thanks
A little bit expensive!
It wouldt be nice to know what experience you have with this system? (apart from it beeing expensive).
and also, is it posible to get these special shock absorbers cheaper than the prices mentioned above? (just in case!)

Hi Villads

the system is good in theory but not really worth the expense.
