We're supposed to go on a day trip tomorrow, roughly 250 miles round trip, and late this afternoon the wife calls and says the suspension warning light is on solid and the car will not raise or lower. Currently it's at level 3 and has not exhibited any signs of sagging. Front bags and a level sensor were replaced about a year or so ago. If the suspension isn't sagging tomorrow morning I'm wondering if we should drive it (preferred ride of the wife) or my UrS4?

I STFA, and have read it's probably a level sensor or possibly even the suspension ecu. Without VAG-COM, are there any tests I can do tonight without tearing the car apart?

Thanks in advance

I've actually cleared it by going into jack mode. Shutting the car and restarting it, then clearing jack mode.

It came back, due to the faulty switch, but all auto level systems worked fine, it couldn't be manually changed.

what tomorrow brings. I may try to get under there before we leave but that's going to be awfully early to be upside down on my back in the footwell!

Where is the suspension ECU?

scan as &lt;crap I'm getting old I can't remember or find my notes&gt; a message....that isn't very helpful but you would at least know then that it is the ECU and the issue will be that you won't have the ESP either, which if you aren't driving on ice or gravel shouldn't be an issue but I drove in what turned into bad weather without it and it was a bear Good luck.

pretty far and sits with at least one and maybe two other modules in the line.

I think you get 3 light syndrome. if you aren't sagging i'd take it
