Anyway, to make my story short, lowering the suspension while trying to perfectly leveling the car, and it just doesn't work AT ALL, so DO NOT attempt that folks. I tried to adjust 1.6mm, and ended up with 11mm difference; obviously Audi uses some kind of algorithm, not straight up measurements, as it's obvious by the fact you need to ADD to the adaptations in order to lower the car, which makes no sense in terms of it being the measurement from middle of wheel to fender edge. Also worth mentioning, the air suspension system is not that accurate either, so it further makes no sense trying to level it, since the gaps keep changing. I proved this by switching from auto to dynamic, where the differences changed as much as 4mm. At that point decided to forget about leveling the car, and went back to redo the measurements... but forgot to put suspension back to auto
. When I got to calibration, it bombed. Tried to repeat the procedure perfectly (in auto, obviously), and this tiime as soon as I clicked on 'calibrate', got an immediate message 'ERROR: Request sequence error'. On the third time, my stupid laptop's touchpad activated 'start up to reference level production', rather than 'start up to reference level', but don't know if it screwed something else, but was getting the same error before, so who knows. At any rate, just posted the (edited) full scan on the following post, where 4 out of the 5 faults on module 34 are typical errors listed on VCDS, including 'no end-of-line programming', which seems to be the main issue in my case (programming got corrupted or something). Everything was done exactly as instructions say the last 2 times, and with a fully charged battery and a 5A charger hooked to it. It took me less than 3 minutes to complete the procedure, so I'm absolutely certain it's not any voltage issue. Have several other 'soft' faults (including an ABS one), due to module not being calibrated, plus the obvious dash ones (red susp error, adaptive headlights/ACC/brake-guard not active, and MMI shock/suspension warning below the grayed out 'raise'). The module lost its coding too, but I already coded it exactly like it was before, and the not coded error still appears. Guess because it's not calibrated. Anyway, had an appt today at dealer, but they canceled me until tomorrow. Hope an expert could help, to avoid spending $300+ I don't have, and avoid any warranty issue. Since I have chemo on Monday, and don't know if I'll get out of it, don't want to potentially leave my wife with another headache, so want to get it fixed tomorrow. Hope somebody knows what could be wrong. At this point, anything other than 'erase all adaptations' couldn't get any worse, right? He he. So I'm willing to experiment if it makes sense. Thanks gang.

. And yes, won't even take it for the 'free' oil change; much rather do it myself. At any rate, supposedly the module's programming was wiped out somehow, so similar to what happens with 'delete all adaptations', it seems. I'm pretty sure I won't forget to set it to 'auto' next time. Ha ha. Will try shortly to lower it again. Wish me luck. He he. By the way, apparently it was just the suspension module that was flashed, since all my other VCDS settings are still there. Have a great weekend gang.
