Default New Suspension Problem.

After driving a brief (and I mean really brief) journey to tesco@s last night, I noticed the car was rather "bouncy", I initially put it don to the fact I was driving in "DYNAMIC" not my usual "COMFORT" setting.

Parked up at Tesco, got out and locked her up and then noticed the rear end was literally sat on her arse????

Now, as cool as it looked, I was a little confused. I know there are no issues with the compressor, fuses, ECU etc as they are new or tested.

After the car had been left to power down for a few mins, i started her back up and selected "LIFT". Up the rear went, as did the front-just as though nothing had happened. "COMFORT" mode was then selected and she lowered back down to the correct level. Drove her home, locked her up and levels were fine.

This morning I have done the same journey and exactly the same thing has happened. I breifly had an amber only level warning and then the green "too low" warning light on its own. Again after letting her power down and repeating the above processshe's back to normal.

The front does actually look rather high though, but I can't be sure that I am not just panicking.

I will try to plug into VAG-COM later but any ideas/thoughts/past similar problems and solutions would be greatly received. I am waiting on Audi to get back to me on how much the rear level senders are. [GULP]
