hi all
help much much very needed if you please.
so i ve got a c5 09 plate which needed a bottom rear engine mount replaced which i did. at the same time i did the drop link and the outer tie rod.
Raised the car, put it on ramps, fitted some wooden blocks under the chassis and then proceeded to lower the car so i could remove the front off side wheel whilst on ramps.
all seemed fine till i finished the job only to find out the car wouldn t raise.
I ve got the P 1116 and 1117 codes.
no comunication with the bsi. tried to reset the bsi by disconnecting the battery several times but no luck.
Ive checked the fuses (nr 8 by the bsi, checked the fuse G39 and other fuses but no luck)
I've checked the frnt hight sensor which seems to be fine .
i know the suspension pump is working as i ve tested it so i've got other issue down the line .
Can someone point me in the right direction as i'm running out of options
I would be massively appretiated if someone could tell me what i'm missing.
Tia

Did you work just on the right side of the car, or also on the left?
Is it possible that the stabilisator rod was turning to much, so you overstressed the connection with the height sensor?

hi Kees, it is possible that the stabiliser bar has twisted quite a bit when i removed the drop link. I did have a look at the front hight sensor aaand it seems fine.

It's about the position of the lever on the height sensors.
It's possible now that the position changed 90 degrees, because of to much movement of the stabilizer rod.
So you have to disconnect the tiny rod between the clamp on the stabilizer rod, change the lever on the height sensor 90 degrees down/up depending on the position, and reconnect the tiny rod with the clamp again.

Because I have a 3.0 v6 with a different suspension system, I don't know how the position original must be, maybe an other user of this form can tell you this.
