Hi,
I’ve fitted a new N/S front air spring & strut and initially it’s sitting very high at the front. Can’t see in the wiki that you need to re calibrate the setting after doing this? Do need to re set heights after replacement?
Followed the workshop manual & didn’t tamper with the height sensor.

I’m still to do the O/S on Sunday so it will be done in pairs This was all pretty easy job apart from the height issues.

Check the height sensor hasn't flopped over the other way when fully jacked up... look at the one you haven't done yet... will give an idea of how it should be...  Pete

Also, have you driven it, they sometime wait until they move to set the ride height after being worked on...  Pete

No, not moved it yet.
Didn’t have time to turn it around so finishing on Sunday.
& when it jacked up like a monster truck I thought it was odd. 2011 (MY12) 4.4 TDV8 Vogue

Stuck my head underneath tonight & both look to be set up the same.
I'll see what happens when I move it tomorrow
Need to put the iiD on & check no issues also.

Looks like it's settled after a short drive to turn it around.

Had a major panic doing the other side when I deflated the airbag, thought the iiD would give a choice when selecting deflated corners. No the whole lot dropped & had the front on axle stands, fortunately no issues.

Rear caliper next n hopefully all done. 2011 (MY12) 4.4 TDV8 Vogue
