so if for example it sitts at 000 standard can I make it sit at +020 more than standard in lift mode ?

Sorry mate it took so long.

YES, you can go higher up to +20mm on each axle, 5mm jumps

...but as mentioned over a week ago, this process can be either straight forward or take many hours.
I've tried last yesterday to go -25mm front and -20mm rear and having no problems on my car previously with lowering this time it stuck and I can't finish adaptation.
Lower I went so far was -15 and -10, some cars just dont like going below -15 and some below -20mm, so it can be a tricky process.

Today will be day two to get the coding and adaptation done successfully coz so far rear axle wont go below -15.

All doable, but you never know with how much effort.

There she is, done it last night once again, same setup but better calibrated, still needs adjusting.

Front -15mm Rear -10mm

Done 2 more calibrations last night and now difference between left and right wheel on each axle is approx 2-3mm, so not bad, but it's looking sweater than before on same coding - a bit strange to be honest.

Good work, might jack my girl up for the winter so her petticoat is not trailing through the slush.

That 'should' be no problem, you can jack it up up to +20mm xxx99xx coding, so highest point would be 20mm higher than your Lift height at the moment.

Now, don't forget that all A8s acting differently, some wont go above/below certain level and some will, sometimes it takes 1-2 attempts, sometimes 10.

If at some point you get an error message (usually when it comes to entering data for rear axle) then you will have to restart the process from scratch inc entering stock coding, adapting it and then all over again, new coding and adaptation. If you start with xxx99xx and it goes through then you should have no problems at all with 66 77 88 coding.

If you need any tips, or anything the just ask and I will be more than happy to help, and I'd love to see it jacked up, it will look weird if you do +20mm and go to lift mode, but still I'd love to see it.

Hello All
Does anyone know of anyone in the North East of England who can lower my car on VCDS ?

I would like my lift mode calibrated +20mm and then my dynamic -15 and comfort as standard ...

Is this possible do you think ? Or can you only re code an overall hight ?

You can only code an overall height. Lowering essentially just fudges the calibration figures.
