hello all after fitting a new rear height sensor the back end is now to high i realise that it should be set via Lexia but dont have one, i remember a post some were saying you could manually do this

 

Thanks

The link is connected to the arb by a u clamp i should imagine you could loosen the u clamp and rotate it until you get the correct ride height. Trying not to squash yourself.

This is all it says in the Citroen procedures for adjustment of the rear height sensor to get the initial height within 10mm before the final adjustment using the Lexia.

 

Loosen by one turn the screw on the collar.

Retighten the screw by hand.

To decrease the height, turn the collar towards the rear of the vehicle.

To increase the height, turn the collar towards the front of the vehicle.

Repeat the operation until the calculated dimension H2C is obtained (± 10 mm). (There is a pinned note in the Technical section on how to measure the height, now including the rear http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/14396-ride-height-measurement/)

Tighten the bolt to 6 Nm.

Perform the final adjustment with a Lexia or Proxia

speaking from experience dont even go anywhere near the ride hight adjuster unless you have a ramp or a pit. pay the dealer to do it because if it goes wrong youl end up dead or if your lucky have 18 months of pain and 5 operations
