I just got my local Porsche independent specialist to replace both rear level sensors on my recently-acquired 970.1 4S. They were seized (as picked up on my PPI) and I supplied a pair that I bought direct from Aerosus.
Unfortunately, however, the car is sitting too high on the rear right wheel. The suspension still goes up and down okay and it was calibrated by the indy. I wondered if ride height measurements hadn't been entered during calibration, but he said that this isn't how the calibration works - it does it automatically. The service department at my local Porsche Centre also confirmed this.
My indy suggested that perhaps Aerosus had supplied the wrong sensor, but that seems unlikely and the codes on the boxes don't appear to bear this out. My invoice from Aerosus says:
1 164502 Porsche Panamera 970 Rear Left Height Control Sensor 2009 - 2016
2 164503 Porsche Panamera 970 Rear Right Height Control Sensor 2009 - 2016
What the likeliest cause of this – and what’s the solution? Thanks in advance for any replies.
