C5 X7 Hydractive - Can ride height be lowered?

Post by FraserB »

Hi all,

I have a Mk3 C5 2.7 V6 hdi with the hydractive setup. Can the ride height in normal mode be lowered?

I’ve read a few older threads recently about people trying this and only being able to lower the car a few mm within a set range via Diagbox - just wondered if anything had changed or people had found other ways to do this via software?

Thanks.

The reference ride heights are pre-programmed at the factory. They should be within the parameters when checked with diagbox.

The adjustment range is very small, but needs to be calculated doing all the measurements and calculations if you think it is out.
