DTCs are faults, if you have non than its all good.

33 would lower front by 10mm and rear by 10mm.

Calibration requires measuring a distance from the center of each wheel to the bottom of wheel arch in a dead straight vertical line, for each wheel.
Each time you measure a wheel, you have to enter it to VCDS, test and save, then jump to the next wheel and so on.

Limp mode can happen at any point during the calibration. If that fails (entered distance wont get accepted) you will have to close the controller, close vcds, unplug the cable, switch ignition off and ideally lock the car and wait for 30sec.
Then restart the whole procedure inc entering security access code and coding again and then calibration.

Symptoms are, suspension warning light will come on and you wont be able to change suspension setting via MMI.

After entering new coding (message: coding accepted) you close the controller, close vcds, unplug the cable, ignition off, lock the car and wait 30sec. then ignition on, cable in and you start the calibration base on new coding which is already stored.
