Hi,

Brand to new to the forum, so big hello to everyone.

I have a 2002 TD5 ES Manual with 120k on the clock. I am currently pulling my hair out trying to get to the bottom of levelling my rear suspension out.

It currently sits about 1 inch lower on the drivers side to the passenger and can't seem to work out how to get it level.

I'll give you a quick run through of what has been done over the last two years. I bought this car about 5 months ago with a full service history, in the last two years it has had all ACE rear pipes replaced, two new air springs and height sensors. I have just replaced both front springs (correct sides fitted) and it has improved the lean ( weak front spring) but the rear is low on the drivers side.

It does not go down at all over night or even weeks. It raises to off road height on both sides( still with the lean) it doesn't level up when driving and the compressor is not running all the time.

I'm getting frustrated now, does anyone know what is wrong or could shed any light on it for me? I've looked through the forum but can't seem to find anything about levelling the suspension only about deflation or over inflation!!! I do not want to convert to coils, just my air to work!!!!!!

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi

Sounds like the air suspension needs calibrating
If the bags and sensors were replaced without the battery being disconnected it can throw the calibration out.
You would need a Nanocom code reader to check the calibration
 
Thanks for the quick reply, bigeeeee,

Where can I get a Nanocom from? What is one come to think of it, sorry if I sound a bit thick.
 
Ok,

Shame you are so far away, will it just read the fault codes to enable me to fix it or can you fix it through it as well?
 
big thanks for your help.

I'll try and track one down!

Thanks once again, I'll let you know how I get on.
