Audi A6 Height Sensors Trigger Suspension Warning

Had a similar suspension issue on my 2019 Audi A7. The height difference and misaligned headlights pointed to a faulty leveling sensor. After inspection, the control rod connecting to the height adjustment system was damaged, causing incorrect readings to the suspension control module. The leveling sensor malfunction affects the entire air suspension system, making it a serious issue that needs prompt attention. If left unfixed, it can lead to uneven tire wear, poor handling, and potential damage to other suspension components. The repair involved: Testing suspension control module communications, Replacing the defective control rod and leveling sensor, Recalibrating the height adjustment system, Full suspension system diagnostic check With air suspension systems becoming more complex, its essential to have this fixed at a workshop with proper diagnostic equipment. The load sensor calibration requires specific tools to ensure proper height adjustment across all driving conditions. Main warning signs to watch for: Uneven vehicle stance, Headlight aim fluctuation, Suspension warning lights, Inconsistent ride height adjustments The symptoms match perfectly with a failing leveling sensor assembly. Would strongly recommend getting it diagnosed before the issue affects other suspension components.

Thanks for sharing your A7 experience, really helpful info. My leveling system also started acting weird last month and those symptoms sound exactly like what I dealt with. The suspension issue was causing major headaches with the height adjustment. Just curious, do you remember roughly what you paid for the full repair? Also wondering if you had any other problems pop up since getting it fixed?

The height control restricted warning has been fully resolved since taking it to the mechanic last month. Getting the control rod fixed on the leveling sensor sorted out all the suspension issues I mentioned before. The total repair cost came to 110 Euro, which included replacing the faulty control rod and recalibrating the height adjustment system. The price was reasonable considering the technical nature of air suspension repairs. Since the fix, the car has been performing perfectly, no more uneven stance or headlight alignment problems. The height sensor is now working as intended, maintaining proper vehicle leveling across different driving conditions. No other suspension-related issues have emerged in the weeks following the repair. The key was catching the problem early before it could cause damage to other suspension components. These leveling sensor problems tend to get worse if left unaddressed, so acting quickly helped keep the repair costs down.

Thanks for the advice. Finally got my A6 fixed last week after finding a specialized shop. The suspension control module needed recalibration and they replaced a worn height sensor that was causing the uneven ride height. Total cost was 850 Euro for parts and labor, more than expected but worth it to have the air suspension working properly again. The automotive suspension specialist explained that these systems need careful calibration with their diagnostic equipment. The car now sits perfectly level and the headlights are properly aligned. Such a relief to have the ride height staying consistent. Just keeping an eye on the suspension warning lights but so far everything is working as it should. Good reminder to address these leveling system issues quickly before they cause bigger problems. Really appreciate all the helpful responses that pointed me in the right direction for getting this fixed properly.
