Probably means your code reader isn’t compatible with D4 suspension ecu

You need the g4 gap if it’s a later D5.

Lift rods work ok but limit how much extended off road height is available as you have already used 50mm of the available travel. Same result can be achieved using a gap tool to increase the suspension either permanently or as and when it’s needed. Or there are blocks that fit onto strut that...
