strange EAS

Hello to all
Not really a problem but strange anyway. I do a few short journeys and Ive noticed that if i stop at traffic lights or something like that the front end will suddenly dip (about an inch or two) then go back up (normal ride height). Is this strange or usual? any feedback welcome.

Is that when you are on flat level ground or on an uneven surface, i.e. a hill??

If its on a flat piece of road then it can mean you have a faulty height sensor giving inaccurate readings.

To be honest, if you arent getting any fault messages then I wouldn't worry about it too much. Mine has done it since Ive owned the vehicle, sometimes it will do it and sometimes it wont. If it gets really bad you can get a soft fault which really means you need to replace the offending (which can be identified with Rovacom/Testbook/Autologic) sensor before getting a hard fault.

mine does it too! not had no problems with it so far (thats the kiss of death)

With the height sensors "Working" whilst moving, slight adjustments are made to the ride height which are unnoticeable. When you stop, and the sensors are static, they will trim the suspension to the values programmed. If there is no fault shown-don't worry. Am I right in thinking that you recently replaced the springs Ian or am I getting confused with another post??

Cheers lads, i will ignore this quirky thing then. for now anyway

Hi John, yes both front springs, will i need to get the sensors re calibrated, i tried to be careful. no faults coming up.

As long as she's sitting nice & level there is no need for recalibration Ian. As you are not getting any faults-I wouldn't worry especially if it's doing what it says on the tin (Or in the book).

cheers mate, just seemed a bit strange. o well

Hey John just going off the beaten track a second, Is the p38 permanent 4wd or only when needed. i should probably know but still learning (very fast)

Permanent 4 wheel drive with a 50/50 split.
