Had the car about 3 weeks now, and have recently noticed that the car sits lower on the back end than the front ( Maybe about an inch). Is this normal or does it point towards a suspension problem. Its an 07 with 14K
Thanks

Pics would help to confirm but sounds about right for non ss+

Cant get to a camera right now but measured from top of alloys (standard) to wheel arch is 72mm on back and 94mm on front. Sorry to be thick but whats ss+?

ss+ is the sport suspension option

sounds normal mate, try this post to give you a rough idea of gaps

Sometimes the handbrake being on can make the car squat at the back particularly if on a slight incline. Does it do it without the HB being applied?

or could it be that the drc fluid has leaked out of the shocks and is making it sit lower...?

this is normal,they do sit lower at the rear.

Mine's an Avant, and sits lower at the rear. Not a worry.

Sounds perfectly normal to me too - mine's got SS+, and the rear tyre is level with the wheel arch (if not above). On the front there's plenty of clear air...

They do sit lower at back buddy,

Just had a look and mine does have the "2ME" option so thats "Super Sports Suspension with Variable Shockers". Variable how?

Variable as in sometimes they leak, sometimes they don't!

Seriously, 2ME is indeed SS+

It was a £500 option that gave "Firmer spring and shock absorber settings than standard, and approx 10mm lower"

PM me with your e-mail address if you want a PDF of the 07 brochure - doesn't give any more info on SS+, but might help you identify other options

Isn't there a VAG options code decipherer (is that a word?) somewhere on this website?

Yeah, found that after trawling a few pages.
