I didn't even know self-levelling was on the D3.

Adding to your point about stiff suspension, do you have Towing mode enabled, as I've seen suggestions that that can attribute to the harshness? Have seen multiple references to hard suspension both on the D3 and D4, but no concrete solution to it anywhere on it's cause/resolution.

Don’t think I sawing tow mode enabled but will double check. The suspension doesn’t seem hard, it’s super wallowy n feels a bit floaty at times, crashes about over holes bumps that I’d normally have had no issue with in the d3. Both d3 and d4 are sport models by the way

I have had the 08 HVAC issues that you see on your car.

steamship refers to the 0378 Coolant Circulation Pump and links to my thread about it.

I still have the 0129 Defrost Flap issue which manifests in a sharp crack shortly after the ignition is turned on and the flap is exercised and some smaller clicking sounds when the flap is adjusting.

The end stop on mine was broken as steamship also refers but I believe the vent/flap/motor assembly was something like £260 so I've lived with it as it does seem to work but the clicking and error code is annoying!

Seems like I've been chasing you around the forum today with what look to be some common faults affecting the D4...

Haha, indeed, got my own stalker

The de mister wasn’t annoying me much until one evening I was out late, car was fogged up and the passenger side would not clear so really wasn’t helping with my view. So gonna be something I need to get sorted. I don’t get any noises or anything to suggest there’s an issue, just the codes coming up…

I’ve since had a new fault, the mem seat controls on driver side have stopped working…….
