Hi all,
as known the D3 lowers the suspension at a given speed. i thought it was at 160 kph. Is there a way to change that speed? I don't drive that fast every day, so i want the cruise height to be set at 120 kph....
Every bit of help is welcome.....

Cut and pasted from elsewhere. The trigger speed can't be adjusted as far as I know....
This feature lowers the suspension ride height by 20mm, if the vehicle exceeds 160 km/h (100 mph) for longer than five seconds. This action is automatic and cannot be over-ridden. Ride height will return to normal when vehicle speed remains below 130 km/h (80 mph) for 30 seconds

Or, if you have an early build D3 you can lower to access height at speed and it will stay there. I have an 05 and have done this on the motorway at 60+ mph16 D4 Landmark

@mik.... I found that in the workshop manual, so i figured, little bit of reprogramming will do the job. Guess i'm wrong
@ ron.... never driven that fast
@jj in access height you would be driving in the end rubbers of your axels. thats 5 cm down. At speed you only lower 20 mm

Perhaps you are correct, all I know is that I can lower it and it stays there. Newer D3s were programmed not to allow this.16 D4 Landmark
