Hey guys
I've been complaining about the rather annoying stationary height difference between the front and rear on my C5 lately.
I plugged in the Lexia and finally got it sitting at equal heights. Weird thing is though, the front is still at its usual 128 steps but I had to set the rear to 144 steps!

Re: Reprogrammed reference heights - car finally sits right
The issue is a real PITA. I left it parked it up overnight with equal heights then went out to the car this morning (4 hours ago) and it was actually sitting lower at the front than the rear. It's never done that. I then unlocked it and it raised the front to a height higher than the rear. I dropped the mrs off at work, came home and it's still like that just now.
Should I just reset it to 128/120 and adjust it mechanically?

Re:
This might be correct as right now the rear looks lower than it was this morning/last nightaddo wrote:It may be wear to the rear height control potentiometer
Edit: What has happened is the reference values have reset themselves!
Edit 2: We're now sitting at 121 / 132 in steps which was 135 / 65 in millimetres. Let's see how this holds up.

Re:
I have to disagree and say I much prefer that shape C5 in both its versions than the current "German" Mondeo with a Citroen badge on the front!!!addo wrote:I have to honestly say, the capitals on that brick fence behind, caught my eye more than the C5.
