Default Newbie Questions....

Does anyone know if when you put the tranny in sport mode...if it changes the suspension to being a harder ride?

Also....

If you have the suspension on the high ride height does it also change the suspension? How about the lowest setting?

Thanks in advance!

Access height gives you a bouncy sloppy ride(less air in bags), off road gives you a tighter stiffer ride(more air in bags).

Not sure if sport changes the suspension settings.

I just got a GAP tool for our D5, probably going to adjust the normal ride height to be a little higher.

You can adjust your ride height, make custom ride height settings for Offroad, read and clear all codes.

on the more advanced sides you can update software, etc.

i have not had time, but going to see if I can reset service monitor.

my car does not stay in low ride height and I believe that is by design. Does yours stay low when driving at faster speeds? I think that the low/high ride heights are only to be used for specific circumstances.

The standard height is what your car will stay in while driving.

With GAP if you add 1” to normal ride height, access and offroad height will be 1” taller.
