03 CTT Sitting lower on one corner??

Gents,

I have recently noticed that when my CTT is parked (no had a chance to view it while on the move), it sits lower on the RHS. Looking at it closely, it looks like the front RHS corners is sitting lower. The suspension goes up and down fine on all four corners.

Could this be an adjustment that needs to be done via the diagnostic, as I had to do on my Audi?

The car went for its annual inspection and they jacked it up without locking out the air suspension and wondering if this did something to it.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a leaking air shock. Does it level itself when you start it, or does it stay the same way?

Yes, you probably just need to calibrate the sensors with a Durametric or PIWIS scan tool.

Thanks for the opinions.

Does the calibration take long to do? I recall that my A8 took 4-5 hours of playing around to get it right. I hoping that the Porsche system is a little more user friendly...

Shouldn't take near that long. Read through this tutorial, it's for lowering, but the same technique can be used to simply level the suspension:

check the link rods from top of suspension arm to chassis isn't damaged or popped off.
it tells the sensor what height the car is! one one each wheel.
