C5 iii Tourer ride height.

[jpn369]

Just had to refurb the rear body height sensor and linkages and the car looks like it is sitting a bit high.
Can anyone furnish me with the correct height?

Thanks in advance.

The heights are determined by measuring from certain points, using a formula and comparing values to the reference heights using Diagbox / Lexia. If the heights are within a certain tolerance, the diagnostic tool can adjust the height slightly, otherwise if they are further out of kilter, you have probably got the height corrector out of adjustment and will need to adjust this again and re-measure.

If you want the procedure for calculation, let me know and I can email you - but you will need access to Diagbox / Lexia to do this.

Just been through similar issues with the front of mine, see Re: Suspension settings.

I set up my front end withing the tolerance specified by moving the clamp on the anti-roll bar, if you move the clamp just 1 degree the height will change by miles!!
Also, I know it is a hassle but if you go under you car, ALWAYS use axle stands, unless you are lucky enough to have access to a ramp.

I worked out what the setting should be, measured what I had, stuck masking tape to the wing, drew a line on the tape, then measured to the line, that way if I needed 20mm extra height from my first measurement I just checked that the line on the wing was 20mm up, saved a lot of fiddly measuring.
