Level control selecion has disappeared from MMI

[Stuarta]

Apologies for the copy/paste from the suspension forum but that one seems to have gone a bit quiet recently.....

Ok - I finally bit the bullet and replaced the other front air shock today.

Thankfully, the compressor hasn't got to the point of self destruction yet, so it works however.....I no longer have the option to select the ride through the car menu in the MMI and the settings menu now says "no further settings for this vehicle" or similar - no option for jacking mode / towing mode. The system works and raises the car, VAG_COM shows no faults but can't change anything. I also tried going into the hidden menu to see if anything was disabled - it doesn't seem to BUT I also can't get into the "vehicle" sub-menu - nothing happens.

This may or may not be linked to a battery failure last week - I left the suspension in jacking mode overnight to avoid overstressing the compressor but it appears to have drained the battery - next day it was totally dead. I recharged it and cleared the myriad of faults thrown up by it but this seems to be the only remaining symptom.

Anyone have any clues?
