I'm sure it works, you have an A6 avant 2.7T with a chassis circa 1990.

Default And let's not forget, that it wouldn't be the first time a ringer has been used to scare up interest

and an engineering mule to work out the bugs, only to find out it won't work. DId the guy with the 2bennet system ever detail what was done??

Default I think currently this is the only real answer. Sort of half step, but would work as long as no load

was put in the car. Then the answer would be to recalibrate the suspension again at the new level,real pain in the ***, but would work.

That's basically what I did.

Default Or could you even code for level 2, allowing for suspension to drop into level 1 range when loaded?

That way, no lights (edited...TIRED). Is there no lower limit to the 402?

Default Unfortunately you can't recalibrate at all once the coilovers are in

If you recall, at the beginning of the 402 process the suspension cycles a bit. Once the air bags are gone you can't get through this process to recalibrate.

I did think about trying to trick it with a lift. That might be possible?!?

Default I tried recoding my cluster to A6 after direct discussion with Uwe Ross.

It didn't change anything. I'm not sure if that is what this recent post refers to.

Default 2Bennett has written DIY instructions. There is nothing electronic in their kit.

The only instruction regarding the electronics is to "unplug the suspension control module."

In all honesty I can't remember if I ever actually unplugged the suspension control module exclusive of other things that I tried like pulling fuses, relays, sensors, etc.

Maybe it works on some or all model years? It seems like it shouldn't be that hard to find out. I'd try it if my car were in one piece and/or within 100 miles of me.
