Right: firstly, sorry for the double thread in one night.
Now; I'm wondering if anyone would know why, but my A3 never seems to sit properly when the hand break is on (electro) - my drive is a bit of a slope, if I park so the car leans to the right (I hope this is understandable) my drivers side rear wheel arch gap is lowered like hell, my front (same side) is raised like it's on stilts, then the passenger side both gaps are the same to which I think is normal ride height.
I tried parking like next door does, they have an A4 with the electro parking break, but their A4 is very low compared to my A3, just by design I guess because even the A3 with s line suspension is not that low! - Their wheel arch gaps are all the same, but the rear is slightly lower, obviously because the car is parked directly downhill so the rear breaks take the strain, but my A3 goes insanely low at the back, and raises the car up like a rocket at the front - beyond the gap of it on normal ground.
It ****** bugs me, because I have the SE suspension and keep having regret in the back of my head, but how 10mm is noticeable over the Sport suspension is just not plausible.
I know that all sounded stupid, but anyone know why my car likes to have different suspension heights on each wheel when parked? It's fine otherwise, at work on flat ground it sits fine, not all awkward, I find though if I reverse into a space it raises the front up quite a bit - I'm not sure if auto hold is doing this...
I might take a pic one day and show it, it just looks like it's on stilts sometimes. I have a feeling this question will make everyone scratch their heads and think that I've been on the whacky tobacco - but I haven't I promise lol
