Re: Lowering the car
start up the car with the brake pedal full depressed, and your key in the half-position for 10 seconds. You should hear a chirp chirp sound, when that happens, start the car, press the brake pedal 3 times, throttle 4 times, then another 2 times on the brakes, the i-drive screen should show a "ride height adjustment menu", with this menu shown, you should be able to raise or lower your car's height as much as you want.
If that fails, and your engine is already started, you need to move your gear selector to the "D - D-s" area, and push it, up up down down left right left right, air-con on-off, on-off, re-start engine
To change ride height with engine off, pull your handbrake lever up and down to pump the height away, like an air-jack.

Re: Lowering the car
wah, reminds me of my special code leh when i was playing the Contra game on my Nintendo donkey years ago
Bro Shadow, there's no instant fix to closing that gap without touching the suspensions or the springs. Fastest way out is to replace with lowering springs.
other way is use bigger rims n tyres. or else u have to let the wear n tear on the suspension to take long long time for that gap to close. now how many fingers?

In that case, you'll need to adjust it manually with the handbrake lever, you'll have to pump it to raise the height and keep pressing the release button to lower it

or always carrying a full load of passengers...

Re: Lowering the car
what kind of sound?
do bear in mind that you will be placing more stress on your absorbers/shocks if you use lowering springs, because they are in a constant compressed mode.. and so eventually may wear out faster.. my shocks gave way a year after i installed lowering springs...

Re: Lowering the car
Wa lao Mock, I actually believed it until the 2nd paragraph Tio con....
Oh, ok, but so far I haven't heard of coilovers making sound on the cars here. Tell your friend change car. Ok ok, just kidding.
No worries, if you change the appropriate coilover for your car, it should not make any funny sound. What coilover did your friend changed for his A4?
