Uneven Ride Height
Excessive Bouncing

Hey! Nope, since the visit to the mechanic, I've got the height control thing under control, so no more bouncing. But I have to warn you, the fun cost me a lot. It cost me a proud €1000 to replace the control unit. But since then, my old car has been running like a champ again, so sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, you know? I have to admit that I had to swallow when I heard the price, but you shouldn't save a penny when it comes to safety. Hope that helps you!

Thank you for your quick and detailed reply! That sounds like a costly affair, but I agree, safety first. I will take your advice to heart and have my car checked by a trustworthy mechanic. Hopefully I'll get the whole thing under control. Thanks again, that was really helpful! Have a safe journey and stay safe!

Hello, I drive a Škoda Octavia RS E5 built in 2013 The message Cornering light error suddenly appeared in my display. I have read out the errors. Both sensors for headlight range control should be defective. But I don't believe that. Cables and plugs are OK. I think the lws is defective. However, I have not yet been able to find it. I suspect that it is under the dashboard. As both cables run in this direction. Can someone help me please.

The cornering light error could indeed be due to a faulty steering angle sensor (LWS). It's typically located around the steering column, which is under the dashboard. However, replacing it can be a complex task and might require special tools. I'd recommend having a professional mechanic inspect it to avoid any potential damage to the steering system.

New LWS installed
That's great, Klaus.9! Have you noticed any changes since the new LWS was installed? Is the cornering light error still appearing on your display? Please let us know if you have any further questions or if there's anything else you need help with.

Hey, I drive a 2007 VW Passat and had similar problems. My car also seemed to bounce excessively and be unstable on the road. At the last workshop visit, it was determined that the shock absorbers needed to be replaced. This should not be taken lightly as it is a serious issue that affects driving safety. Replacing the shock absorbers solved the problem for me. I'm not sure if it's the ride height adjustment in your case, but it could be. Best to get a trustworthy mechanic to have a look. Hope that helps you, buddy!
