No you explained it well enough, thought it was worth checking you didn't have other issues.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-AUDI-EN...8AAOSwNSxVUbKA

For that price its worth playing around.

Don't think an ecu will help can't imagine the amount of coding involved to switch an ecu. Anybody else know any more about the air system/coding/module??

The Ecu is the difference between sports and normal, sports have no height difference between comfort and dynamic unlike the other controller but do as you see fit.

The ebay link above is for a level control module. The advert is titled wrongly as an engine ecu, which it isn't, so you wont loose an engine ECU remap.

The level control module should be plug n play, with a bit of VCDS for coding.

Even if you manage to code the 3 heights, the struts are different in SE and Sport.

They are indeed but the S8 that was at the Wales meet from Germany is running a standard controller to enable the different ride heights and I think he has got it just right in regards to heights and practicality

You've got two numbers there. One is a hardware number, the other is software. Is this from one unit you're looking at?

I can only check the latter 4E0910553H software number. The PR code for this is 1BK 4-corner air suspension with electronic shock absorption control, so this is not the sports variant. However it's best to check with both hardware and software number.

Hope that helps
