Chassis Modifications -> 5.8 General Instructions on the Modification of Standard Vehicles for Your Volkswagen Transporter Van Fifth Generation (2003-2015)

Attachments with high centre of mass  
At vehicles with high attachments or with a raised overall centre of mass, the driving conditions are limited.  
Stabilizer bars are used to prevent excessive heeling of the vehicles.  
The following table shows which centre-of-mass height is permitted for vehicles with standard equipment. These heights  
must not be exceeded. In addition, the table shows for which vehicle variants stabilizer bars or reinforced stabilizer  
bars are recommended.  
The maximum permitted centre-of-mass heights indicated in the table may under no circumstances be exceeded.

Note: The PR-No. OJ2 and OJ3 include also the syncro variants.  
Centre-of-mass height specifications according to directive 71/320 EEC Since 01/01/1991, all utility vehicles must  
comply with the requirements of the "EC Directive on Brake Systems, 71/320/EEC". The adoption of this EC directive  
into German traffic registration regulations (StVZO) results in a situation in which these technical directives must also be  
fulfilled at single acceptances (trial runs).  
59  
 
For all permitted weights, the centre-of-mass height, Y, must not be exceeded.  
All centre-of-mass heights indicated in the adjacent table always refer to the vehicle being loaded up to its respective  
permitted total weight.  
Note: Subject to errors and technical amendments. The electronic version of the body guidelines is the decisive source of up-to-date data on body guidelines (online body  
guidelines). Data status August 2007
