Slamming My High Mileage Audi Using Software Only! (VCDS)

Link to OBDwarenhuis: www.obdwarenhuis.nl/
In this episode we lower my Audi A6 3.0 TDI Allroad. As you could see in the last episode it needed some work on the air suspension so that is what needs taking car of first. Then we are looking into VCDS and how it can be used to lower cars with adaptive air suspension.

Great work Memphis you've got yourself a really good car there. These videos really help with the lockdown thank you from England!

[@strainfly7372]

The 402 mod!! I did the same thing on my c5 allroad 2.7t(same engine as a b5 s4!) out here in the states. As im sure you already know, the lowest setting will ride a bit bumpier, so when friends/family get in the car i usually bump it up to the 2nd level ride height. Enjoy the car!

[@dempsej]

So... You've got an Allroad, the raised version of A6 and then lowered it... okaaaay....... ;)

[@exeroo9728]

you can't lower the a6 with air from factory tho... It only has springs and shocks

[@Off3er]

That's how you do it! Slammed is the way to go!

[@scuderiaquattro7847]

*blonde bearded guy meme* yes

[@carcaviar9321]

Looks great man. Yeah new wheels would be cool and when needed with spacers. In my opinion, it would be cool to paint those plastic parts in body color. And I'm also from Belgium 😃

[@nzrestoration9486]

I enjoyed this thx. Looks like some new dampers are in order too!

[@yarinsheiman7789]

Always fun to see a new video from your channel :)

[@GurkenfanLP]

new vid made my day better, keep up the good work ;)

[@jmdfamily1653]

Happy to see you, hop your well.

[@shamusilsley1989]

That is wicked, my previous neighbour had a 2000 Merc S500 which would sit itself on the ground every time it was parked. Love the factory air suspension in luxury euro cars

[@Drtorky]

Love the 4F. Owned a A6 for 6 years on KW suspension. If I knew how easy it was to lower I would have bought one with stock air. It was indeed easy to lower this model with VCDS. Have Fun with this car. Groeten uit Oost Vlaanderen!👍💪

[@32Kimmich32]

Great work bro! I enjoy watching each of your videos!

[@denisbaraniak9715]

Lovely episode, keep up the amazing content! 👊

[@Martin-rh4pc]

Hey Memphis, i really enjoy your videos, every single one of them! You and your videos mide be the reason why i think about getting a Golf 1 again or VW T3 :) the Audi is also nice and in my oppionen a perfect choice for your needs ! Keep going, great job till now ;)

[@vancogocevski767]

Awesome work done, keep it up, love watching your videos :)

[@jordanbriatte9078]

Très intéressant la suspension par airbag ! Je ne connaissais pas cette technologie, merci.

[@paulpateman3968]

Brilliant video Memphis love your channel stay safe 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@derohnenamen3476]

Love your new car! We had the same, you guesed it, in germany. It was a 3.0 TFSI though, but it was lovely to drive it on the Autobahn, especially goingt to Austria for skiing. You really have to watch out for the air compressor, we had the same issues and it hat to be replaced, eventually my dad sold it.

[@penchode93]

Really love your channel mate ! Learned a lot !

[@jonnymotoritz4393]

I have an 2009 A6 4F Avant 2,7 TDI quattro since 5 years. Love my car. I like your Videos very much! Keep up the good work!

[@ronaldodyra5799]

Thumps my friend, I enjoy all of your videos. I have also learned a lot, thank you. Keep on bringing the good stuff 👍 cheers

[@AlexanderNefodov]

Hey Memphis. Your video brought me to the idea that this testing device would be very helpful when I´ll be buying a car. I´m looking for a 2003 Allroad C5, the previous version. Do you think I´ll be able to use it? Thanks, love what you do

[@christhornton5527]

Great cars and so under rated. One new sub from the Uk😎👍

[@callum1995ful]

New subscriber here.. sorry, didn’t know your channel existed. Glad I found it, albeit by accident but the content of the videos is great especially when you worked on the Audi 100. Great to see your new workshop is almost complete too.. it’s looking fab 👍

[@advokat0474]

Hey Memphis, i really enjoy your videos, every single one of them!

[@memphis5220]

ADVOKAT 047 thanks!

[@Tungstencube66]

Great car. I've got the same 2008 model. Was the transmission fluid changed at some point in it's service history?

[@nigelbond4056]

I always preferred the stance of the S6 to that of the Allroad. Your computer wizardry has improved the look no end. Great job Memphis. Am I the only one who likes the original alloys? 👍

[@tibro2853]

Dees was eig echt interessanter dan ik had verwacht haha! Kwaliteit zoals usual

[@BiHsinalco]

I am curious can you use the vcds to lower headlights, my mercedes has automatic headlight positioning and its always looking too much down, Great vid by the way

[@hurricanearthur9742]

Good job ! A great car. I have the same model, but with a petrol operating engine instead of diesel. Good choice.

[@guzforce]

Great video, thanks and keep up with the good work.

[@mikemcglone3184]

Brilliant video, does anyone know what size tool to remove the bolt securing the airbags? Thanks Mike

[@MrVostok11]

Hello, I'm from Brazil Watch your videos I think very cool. It's a lot of fun too. That's good work.

[@simomilosic7345]

Memphis how much were the bags for suspension? Where did you order them? Tnx for the answer 👍👍.

[@trm_neooreo1373]

This is a big step for you, congrats! But do you know that start and a few minutes later turn off is bad for the engine? Or do you cut those minutes off the video?

[@dabpav1588]

Hi cool your video, how did you proceed to go below the limit tolerance of the vcds which is 410?

[@savvasgreece8700]

best video! also explains how it set up height. Thanks. we all have VCDS but cannot find codes for every system, i have no manual.

[@jimmysrandomness]

Hele mooie wagen 😃 ... wat koste de inschrijving taxs als ik mag vragen? Ben ook aan het overwegen om deze aan te schaffen 😃 maar ben benieuwd wat het me zou kosten betreft taxsen..

[@devellwilson7099]

Thanks for the knowledge..

[@waynerodgers1444]

Hi, before you calibrated height what setting was the car on ? Allroad, comfort, automatic or dynamic ? Many thanks

[@fouadzoubaa9065]

beste blij te zien dat je vcds hebt leren kennen. ik heb zelf een audi tt en altijd al fan geweest van vw en audi. ik wil deze zomer naar de nurenbergring dus als julie dit jaar terug gaan. wil ik zeker mee.

[@georgemakuca8870]

I have an Audi A3 2005 Tdi 2.0 18'' alu wheels they are less than 4mm grip on them, which brand of tyers would you recomend?

[@dooglemaples1914]

excellent video as usual. The audi is looking nice

[@karolisgarbaciauskas5445]

Hello. On what driving mode (dynamic, automatic, comfort, allroad or lift) your car was set, before you start this procedure?

[@Audi8pOfSouthAfrica]

Awesome video kiddo! Great job 👍🏼

[@alfa16425]

buenos dias, me gustaria saber como llegaste a bajar al minimo la suspension, gracias por tu tiempo y tus videos

[@lesmajszki2918]

Did you buy he obd connector from VCDS or is it an after market and you are just using their software. cheers

[@HaramiSalami420]

Dude I just love your videos!

[@pieterwaterschoot9309]

Doesnt the ride height have to be slightly offset because it needs to be leveled when there is a driver in the car?

[@gagu112]

Great work. With vcds you can activate parking sensors visual on the mmi. Needle sweap, high beam auto it changes back to low beam when cars come, and digital speedo and turbo boost visual in the cluster.

[@ali1t]

What's the coding for the auto high beam to low beam, does it include the 4F?

[@stigsmauritiancousin671]

Excellent work!

[@thewaywardgrape3838]

Liking your channel pal. Good stuff 👌

[@dennisr6261]

mooie daily en leuke content 🤙 subscribed

[@kottarainen665]

Pure gold! Good job :)

[@Imn0talan]

Awesome bro!! You can also use some spacers.

[@APSweden]

you must use a specific OBD2 adapter that only works on VCDS? would any OBDD2 USB Adapter work?

[@OnlyCircles]

Toffe bak hoor. 👌. Wat kost zo’n diesel nou in België? Greetz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@haiderrasdf93]

Probeer is iets vaker te uploaden. Je doet Geniaal werk, alleen upload wat vaker omdat ik niet kan wachten op de volgende aflevering. Ik raad je aan om die A6 Allroad helemaal zwart te maken. Dat ziet er gruwelijk uit, heb zelf er meerdere keren 1 gezien. Ik raad je dan wel aan, om getinte ramen te hebben ziet er heel dik uit. Goed werk!

[@FloDuXe]

Great video man!

[@MauriceNL1]

With VCDS you can enable things like Fog lights as cornering lights, control windows with remote, oil temp in MMI, needle sweep, coming home/leaving home lights.

[@sylwiugta]

On the prefacelift A6 C6 can't do Needle Sweep, or oil temp, only on the facelift models. Cornering can't be also done,not even on the facelift C6.

[@franciscobanchio4570]

What a car!! Great video 🙌

[@xBooMzHeadShotx]

Damn i might just need to lower mine after i Fix my suspention. My problem is that it sinks on both bags On the Rear axel. but only when parked in Comfort or lower and still sinks when in jacking mode on both, do you have any insight to what the problem is? Thinking valve block since both rear bags seems unlikly to go out at same time.

[@mutten55]

Hey, voor de rest tevreden van de wagen? Zijn voor het gezin ook op zoek naar een allroad (lichte vracht voor de taksen) Waar moeten we op letten bij aankoop en qua kmstand? M

[@aly1996zip]

Do you think is possible to make the opposite ( make it a little bit higher ) ? For a c7 Allroad . At least not go lower then level 3 at more then 120km/h

[@xBooMzHeadShotx]

I Keep coming back to this video😂Thanks a lot was able to calibrate my car was 1 cm of and that seemd to cause my yellow light to flash and i got a Code for mecanical error on sensor. But seems to be fine now 😎

[@RossTechVCDS]

Thank you for the kind words. I would like to point out that there are some functions that the factory scan tool does that VCDS can not perform. In a nutshell, the factory scan tools at VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda dealers call home to special servers to get data that is used for things like firmware updates, or security type functions (key matching for example). As you might guess, Ross-Tech customers will not have access to said servers, thus not be able to perform those type functions. Regards.

[@memphis5220]

RossTechVCDS thank you for the clarification!

[@viorelstroe7949]

HI Mephis! Very nice and interesting video! I have a question about it. I have an Audi A6 c6 2005 3.0 with air suspension from factory, and i wanted to ask you if i can proced same like you to lower the car! Or a contact to ask you few questions, because I don’t want to something wrong! Cheers!🤜🤛

[@DriverExtraordinaire-qn6gt]

Cool stuff mate , I think all roads go lower than my d4 a8 this thing will only go down by 17mm with vcds. I ran lowering links on my previous d3 a8 so I’m gonna get some for this one too.

[@Lowkas]

17:08 i agree, BUT since anyone can bag their car at this point you can get the best of both worlds easily. want performance? pull her up? want a clean, lowered car? down she goes

[@jb3274]

Damn nice m8. Will you straight pipe it in the future?

[@djcars123]

can you change the height on the fly? like up and down when you want?

[@krisjanispurins2506]

what size rims do you have? i want to have these for my allroad aswell

[@pascalschneider8145]

Hi Memphis, I bought this VCDS device but impossible to connect even by opening the ports. Maybe you know why?

[@GTride]

I have the exact same car, really Good car. Love it!

[@saimk4239]

Great work! Greetings from Denmark

[@APSweden]

so you just bought a USB OBD2 and connect it to your laptop, you have a link for downloading the VCCDS? thank you

[@hermanj7418]

Wederom weer een mooi filmpje met een nette uitleg welkom BELGIE

[@SuperBackhere]

That reminds me of my w124 surprising me 2 years ago. My car was parked in front of my house and i saw it sitting low as a lizard. Left spring perch was badly rusted and ripped off. That's why it was soo low. I welded it back to its place and painted it afterwards.

[@flamemedianl]

Hallo Memphis. Naast je perfecte (bijna te makkelijke) uitleg over een A6 waarbij mijn luchtvering wegzakt. Alle luchtbalgen zijn dicht en voor de zekerheid rechtsvoor vervangen maar de auto zakt na een uurtje al weer aan de voorkant (voornamelijk rechts voor) na. Is het mogelijk dat jij mijn A6 c6 ook eens uitleest? Ik heb een redelijke technische achtergrond dus als ik weet waar het probleem ligt, zou ik het zelf wel kunnen verhelpen. Succes! Gr. Frans

[@josenepeoronga4243]

Excelente, saludos de Argentina

[@michaeltutty1540]

Interesting video, Memphis. Speaking as an old fart, I prefer stock height. Considering the state of the roads here, stock height and smaller wheels/taller tires would be an absolute must. Lowered, it would never make it into and out of my driveway. A few years back the expressway between where I live and where my mother lives suffered pavement failure. The carriageway had been resurfaced and the new surface did not bond properly. For a week every time I drove through the area there would be 5 or 6 cars on the shoulder awaiting recovery with at least two flat tires. Talking to one of the recovery drives I found out that many not only ruined the two tires but had also bent or broken the alloy wheels.

[@markhensens5989]

Gebruikt vw/audi/seat/enz enz niet gewoon OBD2?

[@Suli.]

Could you tell me how much you paid for the spare parts? I mean - suspension airbags?

[@wollywotsit]

Fantastic video, greetings from the U.K.

[@cristian_enea]

Nice one! Subscribed!

[@PedroM125]

I don't know but I think that OBDwarenhuis should offer a VCDS kit to you... Great video!

[@leoekbom106]

Could you use the same method to increase highest level too? If so by how much?

[@nimrodnimrod7641]

Audi a 6 allroad c6 Front left damper valve defective ?

[@sausagebuttiesdw94]

What command did you use to drop it at the end?

[@HighPeakAutos]

Good job!

[@sbrtqororqor6440]

can those suspension be used in audi allroad 2003

[@sporta4rv]

What can be wrong with suspensions, when I leave car in off road mode it doesn't drop suspensions down even if you leave it for couple of days, but if I leave in comfort mode or dynamic the rear suspension will fall down, what can be wrong pls

[@E92325i]

Looks dope!

[@roger3221]

Verschil in rijhoogte kan ook komen doordat in het verleden bij bandenwissels of herstellingen de wagen niet in service-hoogte(of gewoon hoogste stand) zetten bij de herstelling. Propere wagen voor de aantal km👌. Blijf zo verder doen!

[@MrHuismeester]

Lijkt wel Citroen zoals je auto omhoog komt ! Leuke leerzame video en alles duidelijk uitgelegd ! groeten uit Breda .

[@Blurredman]

Being me- i'd have tried to patch it with a motorcycle patch xD

[@Stefan-tw]

Congrats !!

[@Casey.seeK.]

Great video. Although Im not sure the lowered look suits the A6.

[@psavel274]

Nice e28 in the background. Wish we got all the cool euro bits from the factory here in the states.

[@tjcomb3766]

Hey I couldn’t help but notice your rear brake line have cracks in the rubber layer after the crimped fitting going to the caliper ;) cheers and great videos my friend

[@Kyllynts]

Hey mate! Is there an option to have the lowest height (at the end of the video) programmed to one of the driving modes? So there would be a "normal" to comfort mode, a "slightly dropped" for dynamic, and a "show (0bar)" mode for example to efficieny mode.

[@memphis5220]

Not with this method but i think there are units available that can do that
