- 2016 Audi A8 Trim Configurations. The 2016 Audi A8 comes available in three different trim configurations. These trim configurations include: 3.0T - The base trim of the 2016 Audi A8, the 3.0T trim includes features such as a 333 hp 3.0L supercharged V6 engine, a power trunk, four-zone automatic climate control, a seven-inch color display, a 14-speaker Bose® audio system, and more.
- Audi will not fix at component level so will quote you between £1000 to £1800 for a replacement new unit. A 3rd party who can fix at component level will ask between £150 and £250. Better to find the same unit on eBay and then come to an authorised 3rd party like myself to replace and have the component protection removed.
Hello..
Revised 7/1/2020 - Streamlined [The Procedure] below, again, thank you ALL for your feedback!This procedure is
not for the 'older' non

UDS' Level Controller? Click here UDS vs. Non-UDS
This is an example of a
UDS Level controller when found in the Auto-Scan results:

[34-Level Control], the controller will need to be coded first, before 'The Procedure' below can be completed!
- If you have saved an [Auto-Scan] of the vehicle prior to the coding being lost, you can search the scan and copy/paste the coding into the controller.
- In the unlikely event you have lost coding, create a new Ross-Tech forum thread in the Car Repair Support section and let's see if we can help.
Special Notes, warnings, etc-
Do not at any point in time select Basic Settings [*IDE01475*]
[Resetting of all adaptations]. If you choose to do so,
DTC B2013 will be stored and you will need to make an appointment with your local dealer!
B2013: No End-of-Line Programming will prevent a successful calibration.
- Make sure you perform and save an [Auto-Scan] before beginning any work
- If you are attempting to alter the ride height use this procedure at your own risk!
- If you copy or post this procedure and/or any of its contents anywhere else, please be respectful and give credit where credit is due
[The Procedure]------------------------------------------------------
- Re-adapt Adaptive Suspension to default position -------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites- Ignition [ON], Use a Battery maintainer
- Vehicle on level surface
- No persons or gear in Vehicle
- Fuel Tank 50% or more
- Nothing under vehicle
- Door are to remain shut during the entire procedure
Using the
MMI (under
[Car]/[Service] ) the following needs to be set-
- Air Spring Wheel Change set to [Off] or Air Suspension Wheel Change (if applicable)
- Audi Drive Select (under Car menu) set to [Auto]
or
- Automatic Drive Program set to [Auto] (Bentley)
- Jacking mode, must be set to [Off]

- Wait for basic Settings to end, [
Finished correctly/Not Running], then press
[Stop],
[Go Back] (vehicle should level it's self wait till it stops)
5) Measure the ride height, in millimeters, from the center of the wheel to the edge of fender, do this for all four wheels and record the values, this will set the ride height to the factory level.

Notes:
- Modification to ride height may be possible, for example adding to the measured value would lower the suspension because the level control system thinks the ride height it too high. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
- We do not suggest anyone to make changes to the standard ride heights!

MMI verify the following setting -
- Air Spring Wheel Change = [off]
C.) Ignition Key On/Off Cycle must be completed.
D.) Clear ALL fault codes and re-check for fault codes, road test vehicle.
Reference:- You may have one or more of the fault codes listed below..

Ross-Tech is not responsible for any damage or problems that may result from following these instructions. They are to be used at your own risk. As always, you should refer to a Factory Repair Manual for your vehicle!
This procedure details how to lower/raise the zero position for the Level Control module in VW Phaeton (3D), VW Touareg (7L), Audi A6 (4F), Audi A8 (4E) and Audi Q7 (4L) vehicles.
This procedure does not apply to the old Audi A6 (C5 platform, 4B chassis) Allroad. For that vehicle, there is a different procedure.
There are certain test conditions that must be met before doing this procedure:
Transmission in park/neutral.
Start the vehicle, keep the engine running and do not switch off the ignition.
Doors have to stay closed, otherwise the system is not ready.
The default values:
Audi A6 (4F) (PR-1BK): 386 mm (front) and 384 mm (rear)
Audi A6 (4F) Allroad (PR-1BY): 388 mm (front) and 380 mm (rear)
Audi A8 (4E) standard suspension (PR-1BK): 416 mm (front) and 398 mm (rear)
Audi A8/S8 (4E) sport suspension (PR-2MA/2MB): 396 mm (front) and 378 mm (rear)
Audi Q7 (4L): 449 mm (front) and 465 mm (rear)
Startech usb to hdmi mac driver. VW Phaeton (3D) RoW (Rest of World): 407 mm (front) and 401 mm (rear)
VW Phaeton (3D) NAR (North American Region): 417 mm (front) and 411 (rear)
VW Touareg (7L) standard: 497 mm (front) and 502 mm (rear)
VW Touareg (7L) offroad: 488 mm (front) and 498 mm (rear)
North American Phaeton owners: Please read a very detailed alternate procedure here
The above values are NOT what you enter into each Adaptation channel. You need to enter the ACTUAL MEASURED VALUES from each corner of the car as explained below.

[Test]
[Save]
Click the [Done, Go Back] button and you're all set.
Check for fault codes, if all procedures went fine there should be none.
How to install calamity mod mac for cracked terraria. The height of each wheel is measured between the center of the wheel (the space in between the V and the W) and the lower edge of the fender. All measurements have to be done in Millimeters (mm).

If a Channel is not accepting a value, put the 'new value' in again and click [Test] and [Save] again instead of starting the whole process from the beginning.
In some cases the controller says 'invalid value', start 'rocking' the car a little bit, this should solve problem.
