Those of you who are now 'experts' in using VCDS to adjust and set ride height, could you please look at the last two posts I made on the original post done by Mishar (probably nearby in the list). I need help with my car and Mishar is not available for assistance for at least several months.

If it isn't obvious to get to the link, just search "VCDS ride height" and it will come up to the top of the search result.

THANK YOU immensely for any assistance.

My advice? Put the ride height back to stock and leave it alone.

He can't because he can't find the way to save the setting. Besides that A8 looks much better lowered.

All that looks is good until you bottom out on a speed bump or similar and tear something up. I quickly tired of taking thing extra slow because of all the speed bumps and other road issues. I was bottoming out in "dynamic" so I put the car in automatic and I leave it there. Any lower and the belly pan would get tore up. Belly pans aren't cheap.

I agree. Not good for offroading.

Thanks guys, but I AM trying to get it to set at stock ride height. One strut was replaced and the other front fender is now about 2mm too high. So - help with my question would really be appreciated.

Sorry I didn't indicated exactly what I was trying to do in the OP.

There is a video that shows how to do it.


Having said that the newer software has a drop down box that you have to use to get it into adjust mode.
