D3 air suspension QS to SE spec (3 height settings instead of 2)
Does anyone know if I can code/swap my Quattro sport suspension module so I can run the 3 different ride heights and get 50mm of travel like the standard SE models.
Ripped my fuel cooler off on a speed bump in dynamic as the car lowered off on its own whilst on the motorway |

are you sure that your air compressor / pump is fully pressurising and not losing any air Don? that may be why it lowered whilst you were driving along, or alternatively if you're in auto mode it will have lowered by the additional 20mm when you get to 80MPH and then stay there until you drop speed to under 40 I think
If the pump is losing a touch of pressure you can refurb it with a "bagpiping andy" kit off of ebay

As Neil says, the system may have a leak, worth checking what VCDS says and is it dropping on one side/ taking a long time to lift/ any lights on dash in regards to level control. etc
If all that's good then your options are replace the controller with a normal suspension module and that will give you the extra level you asked about.

Thanks guys but maybe I didn't explain it very well the quarto sport has only 2 main ride heights 1,comfort,auto and dynamic - these are all one ride height
2, lift mode - 25mm higher I run my car VERY low so I need it in lift mode to clear speed humps around town. Problem is if I drive over 60 it will automatically come out of lift mode and back into the normal height(Low) but it catches me out sometimes and I'll not realise it's dropped out of lift mode and then !!!!BANG!!!! If I could swap to the SE SETUP dynamic would be low Comfort would be 25mm higher and lift would be another 25mm on top of that meaning I could leave it in comfort most of the time and clear most thing, lift for 50mm and massive clearance. Dynamic for a/b roads, motorways and shows. Last edited by Don; 22nd January 2016 at 03:45 PM. |

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.

Delboy the description on your Ebay link didn't make clear it was the air suspension ecu. So I thought your were telling me to buy an engine ECU ok thanks mate great help 👍🏼

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.
