How LOW can an allroad go?

**rubberduck182** · 22-05-2014,07:06 PM

Yup, my 2011 Allroad drops to lowest setting in Dynamic. Think it also does over 70-80 regardless of setting.

Mine will stick at 2 if you put it in Comfort mode even when cruising at motorway speeds.

Here is my BiTdi in dynamic (left), so suspension on setting 1, and Splash's 245 on the right ... can't remember if this was in "allroad" mode (setting 3) or setting 2.
Bottom line was that Splash could not get his car to drop to setting 1 so more follow up with the Audi dealer.

Someone with a 245... please confirm that your car drops to setting 1 in dynamic mode (I can't believe that it does not).

No problem getting it up but I just can't get it down! I set it to "Raised" (beyond "allroad") for the photo so others can see the extremes, but will need to get it checked again armed with photographic proof. Maybe I should change my user name to "Priapic".

Nice to meet up today Groucho and thanks for sparing the time.

It was a please to meet up with you and Mrs Splash earlier, a most enjoyable conversation - and nice to park the "twins" up next to each other.

I'll probably take you up on your kind offer to do some VCDS tweaks at some point in the near future, but no rush.

Yes, I was just about to post "What car is that?" Then realised it must be car with the basic navigation option.

i've also checked my colleague's 204PS car and it also drops to 1 bar in dynamic or when over 83mph in Efficiency mode (although how we would know that is anyone's guess!).

For a moment I thought this thread was going 'off topic'

This might seem like a daft question, but do you have aftermarket wheels? They don't look like anything with a 4G part number.

if so, are they the right offset/size tyre and you're 100% sure they're not about to foul the bodywork and the car is stopping it happen somehow?

**ukgroucho** · 23-05-2014,04:05 PM

Yes Splash has aftermarket wheels (and they do look very nice). I think he knows what he is doing with offsets etc. as he used to be "in the trade" (wheels and tyres) based on my conversation with him yesterday. I think he may have headed up to Scotland today so is either in the car or 'mostly offline' based on his description of the quality of his broadband service 'up North'
