Air damper height failure
Hi guys, I have a strange problem that I can't solve myself, I don't know how.
This is a defect in the air shock absorber in the driver's passenger seat. The point is that one side is 2 cm lower than it should be. The mosses hold their position and do not fall.
It doesn't matter what mode the car is in, Dynamic or Lift, one side is still 2 cm lower.
We changed
- full air damper
- chassis control unit
- calibration via vcds
- vehicle height adjuster
Car was fine for about a week, now still having the same problem
Thank you very much!

Recheck the suspension height sensor for that corner. Look at wiring harness for that wheel too. (Given work to date, maybe especially the harness idea)
Rerun scan and make sure the calibration actually stuck.
If you used a rebuilt strut, failure rate is high anywhere from immediate to a year or two later (maybe as much as 50% from D3 posts over years).
Make sure you didn't use a sport or S8 spec strut--lower ride heights by design.

Your air suspension bags are torn. The cost of rear dampers is $1500 per corner. You may need two at a time. The life span of bags is 120K miles.
Best option is coilovers. They cost about $1500 for 4. Installation is $ 1200.00

I set ride height 5.5 inches front and 5.9 inches rear. Ride is comfortable but corners well.

As mentioned, a consistent 20mm lower ride height on that corner, despite everything else seemingly functioning normally does point to a ‘Sport’ strut being installed, which are 20mm shorter.
