Dear friends

I got a 2006 Bentley continental GT

I replaced all the height sensors about one month ago, the suspension runs okay and smooth, but a little bit unbalanced. Left front is higher about 2 cm and the rear ones become lower. (BUT drivable)

Therefore, we used height adaption function through computers. After that, the suspension locked in safe mode (highest position). I almost become in-drivable, extremely hard and bouncing all the time.

From the VCDs, THREE height sensors appeared wrong ( all -127 mm something) The faculty code of the three sensors cannot be erased. It appears even we erased them, again, again, and again. It appears that the values of the height sensors are not reliable/ they are wrong

It locked in the heightst position, is not drivable now, too hard and bouncing all the time
It locked in the highest position, is not drivable now, too hard and bouncing all the time
I replaced the front sensor like the photo (taken from youtube)
I replaced the front sensor like the photo (taken from youtube)
I replaced the front sensor like the photo (taken from youtube)
I replaced the front sensor like the photo (taken from youtube)

MY QUESTIONS:

1. Is it that possible to have three sensors detected wrong values at the same time? Is that possible?

Would you please help give me some suggestions?

(1) Replace all the sensor again?
(2) Replace suspension ECU?
(3) Is that possible to use Phaeton suspension ECU?
I saw a youtube used Phaeton one and it worked

(4) Do you guys have the picture showing the correct way to position all the height level sensors?

Please help me, I believe this forum is my last hope, your assistance is the last chance for my bentley

———————more information

Apologies, I didn’t take photos on the VCDs, but I remember the information

Error code:
Left front unreliable/ false
Right front unreliable/ false
Left rear unreliable/ false

I replaced the four sensors, and the car was find, just a little bit unbalanced for approximately 2 cm

However, we measured the right height and complete the adaption, then, the car suddenly raised to the highest position and locked

The system don’t let us go into it to do further adaption coz it appears that “THREE of the four sensors are FALSE”

it appears that everytime we erased the fault code, it appears again that three of the four are with fault heights

PS. Even I changed back to the original sensors, the system, still, appears Three of the Four sensors with fault/false.

This, I surmise it not something wrong about the sensors, how is that possible to have three broken sensors at the same time?
