Just finished the install of my struts

Everything works great. I just have this ride height symbol that I need to get rid of. Can anyone help me out and guide me in the right direction.

Edit: I should also mention that I changed the cv axle, upper control arms and Anti roll bar links along with the struts.

Agreed, when it comes out of Jack mode drive it as stated. Try that first.

Agree - car should come out of jack mode if driven even a short distance.

If the suspension will not come out of jack mode check address 34 level control for any codes. Additionally, because you changed struts, you MIGHT need to do a suspension level control calibration. There is a Rosstech process for Audi and VW. Doesn't list Bentley, but circa is the same. Find it here:

Just wanted to give some feed back as I don’t like to just leave a post with no conclusion.

I pulled the car out of the garage to wash it then put in on the street to air dry some while I washed the wife’s X6. Switching cars again to dry the GT off and I noticed both lights (traction and air height) was gone. Guess I’m good to go now!

Althought I double checked and made sure every bolt was nice and tight, but because I did the work myself I’m scared to drive it now 🤣🤣🤣. Maybe I should tell the wife to take it for the day 🤔.


Just kidding..or am I???? Lol

Thanks for the help everyone.

The aspect scarier than the uncertainty when doing the job one self, would be waiting in line at the Bentley dealer with credit card in hand.🤤
