Ride height of a MK1 3.2

I have been reading a few posts about this issue, as when I look at the back of mine, it seems to have an excessive gap between tyre and arch. I assume the springs that are on fit properly, but was wondering if there is a change of spring at some point in the MK1 history, that means they may be the wrong ones. I don't mind replacing them if it means the ride height will be lowered.

Hi Sean, I think the mk1 had different springs depending on the model. It could be possible that the wrong springs have been fitted, ie from a lower spec'd car. 

Cheers

That would be my thought but at the moment the garage are still trying to get to the bottom of the emissions light that keeps coming back on, suggesting it is not merely a sensor.

Truthfully that was my suspicion, do they have an idea if what it could be?

Well my mate checked some voltages and suggested that there is a mismatch from the ecu to a good sensor and the one giving the fault code. This would suggest that the ecu may have a fault. However, being the remit of the garage, I didn't ask him to investigate any further until they have had a look

Yes it seems to run fine and pulls nicely. Well, when the dsg lets it from 1st

I wondering if there's a fault with.a valve or.inlet manifold but I am just guessing here.
