Adaptive suspension Height diffrence.

Post by LBURT90 »

Recently Brought a 2009 GT ( UK spec ) with the adaptive suspension. My concern is that the suspension seems really high ( could just be me ) i checked via VCDS ( measuring blocks ) and have different Height %

Rel veh height Front left (G78) 74%
Rel veh height Front Right (G289 ) 32%
Rel veh height rear (G76) 37%

Does this look right or is there something wrong ? no codes, no lights on dash. again just seems high.

There's a big imbalance left to right which looks wrong.

For facelift Sciroccos with DCC (PR code G03), the standard ride heights (bottom edge of wheel arch to hub centre) are:

Front:373 +/- 10 mm

Rear: 375 +/- 10 mm

I don't have the spec for pre-facelift, but I'm guessing it would be the same

i will have a look, i was adviced that the previous owner changed the suspension spring/leg before selling it to me.
