Audi A6 Allroad 2016 - stiff suspension

[MichalS]

Hi ,

I have a problem with my Audi A6 Allroad 2016. Bought around 3 weeks ago. When coming back home from the dealer I was amazed with comfort. I don't know if that has any connection but on my way home I had a message on dashboard telling to check tyre pressure.

I did check it when arrived home. Set them to required pressure , no problem. 

After few days of driving and having a longer trip I realised that it's not that comfortable. My suspension seems to get harder , stiffer ? Going through any holes is very " painfull ". Like it suddenly changed. 

Seen mechanic , he took a look around and said every looks fine.  No problem solved .

I took my friends A6 Allroad from 2015 for a ride and it's so much comfortable and quite. 

I will have computer connected tommorow to see for any errors , but trying to see if any of you guys had same problem and how did you solved that ? Any suggestions ? 

 

* My Allroad have 18" wheels.

Check whether the air suspension is set in comfort or dynamic mode.  The ride should be good on 18" wheels.

Can anyone comment on difference in ride comfort between 20" and 18" wheels?

It's stiff in any mode. I had it connected to VCDS and we found there was " level control " fault in a past. 

Have it now at dealer to check but been told they can not fault it...
