Self Leveling Xenons and Suspension

[kozmos]

Will changing (and lowering) to a after market suspension (ie coilover) affect the self leveling function?

How does the self leveling xenons work? Is there a sensor attached to the suspension or does the sensor measure the pitch of the body?

I think you can adjust the xeonons with something like Vag-Com (www.ross-tech.com)to cope with a lot of lowering.

Surely the height is not relevant? I would have thought it would only be a problem if the car was not level to the point where it cannot self level!!

There is on lower arm a small box with some wires into it and i think this is it ( to the best of my knowledge ) and there is i think it can be adjusted a bit buy nut and thread but have not tried it ? and how much adjustment there is ? Let us know if this is right SORRY if this no good

My car is lowered and the Xenon levelling is fine. However AmD may have had to make adjustments when they fitted the suspension...

Dippy,

What 'adjustments' did AMD do to you car?

[Dippy]

I wrote 'may have'. I don't know and didn't ask. All I meant was that you can lower without upsetting the system.
