Woe is my air suspension. Here's the latest update and it's really starting to piss me off.

Default No, I have no idea. My guy might have said 16mm lower than all the others...

My technical know how stops right about there. I can tear my Harley apart and solder wires, and I could work on my '78 Land Cruiser, but this car is mostly over my head.

Have you noticed your headlights not adjusting? I'm most interested to see if fixing my suspension fixes my headlights - audi told me I was crazy there too, but I KNOW they are not normal - they're actually quite dangerous the way they are. I can't see anything past 30 feet with my low beams.

Bad dealer support is why I'll never buy an audi again. I'm sure in Germany audi service is a much different story.

It may not be a simple resistor... (ISTR it's an encoded value, but I could be wrong).

Default My headlights and mirrors do adjust still, even when it's hunting around.

Kinda makes me woozy.

Default Are the sensors the same on all four wheels?

ie, if I buy one, and it's not the left rear, can I install it in another location?

Default Understood, but it is the same process to achieve the OEM settings, if you give the VAG more

than 5mm to change the corners that are off then it is likely that this value will not be taken by the module. It might tell you it did, but in reality it didn't. The very first time when I had this problem I called Ross-Tech and was advised not to enter 8 or 10mm or so, multiple steps around 5mm.

Nope, you should cut back to 5mm max. 20 is way too much, that would be a lucky shot.

I have had a bad level sensor too, slightly different symptoms, but some the same. I bet that is you problem...

Good luck.
