Suspension Unit Extension? What is this?
I understand the other readings but don't quite get this one.
Why is the rear2 so out of whack compared to the others. This is also the side I am having trouble with. I just don't know what this reading is.

Was the ground you parked on extremely level?

Re: Was the ground you parked on extremely level?
Yes, I took this measurement in the garage. I understand the other measurements but am unfamiliar with this one. Rear2 is the rear right correct? This is the side that has been sagging since I had tires and alignment done. I have no idea if this has anything to do with it because I don't know what this measurement represents. Any insight? Thanks.

you need to follow the 402 mod instructions.
not to change your height as per the 402, but to level your car. The 402 refferes to the MM from the center of the wheel to the lip of the fender. At level 2 this should be 402 MM.
Regardless, they should all be the same reading at level 2. Not per the vag rign now byt by truly measuring then you use the vag to change each corner as needed to get the properp and same level. +/- 5MM<ul><li><a href="http://allroadfaq.com/downloads/mods/402_mod.pdf">402 mod</a></li></ul>

Actually that is what this is really about. Do you want to buy
some unit extension vi@gr3 mortgage solution today. 
Just couldn't get by the spam filters so I thought I would use the forums instead.

Cool. I'll give this a try today. This would not have anything to do with...
the sagging right? Am I right that this mod is simply to get your car to level out correctly? Still what do the numbers (140,139,143,151) from the reading represent?

the readings you showed may represent the MM length of the actual air spring..
go to the 402 insructions and first read all 4 channels, see if the difference is relativly the same to the extension readings. Just a thought...
Get hte car level first then diagnose if there is a sensor off or a air sping leak.

As I known and maybe I am wrong, the readings in the group 005 are the electric signals from
the level sensors. Because of the tolerance of the mass production and the installation, the reading of the 4 corners may vary. That is why the adaptation is needed.
If the real measurement of the 4 corners' ride height at all 4 levels match the readings in group 004, I thank they are OK.
Just my guess.
