I wonder if anyone here can point me to the location of the front level sensor on a 2008 8k saloon?
I have a dash warning that it is defective and vcds tells me I have fault code 00496 which relates to the front level sensor.
I should like to check the connections. On Briskoda a thread describes the location of the sensor as on
the front nearside inner wing, but that comment came from a Passat owner and it may be different on an Audi.
Thanks in anticipation of some helpful advice.

Im not sure, should this be both sides or both side if only with electronic suspension.

I crawled under and took a look. I unplugged the connector and re-connected and that did not fix the dash warning light, so
I ordered a new sensor from Cardiff Audi who did it for £84 including vat and delivery.
Now I have fitted it and although it is a bit awkward to reach, there is no real difficulty.
