Sitting Lop-Sided

Just swapped over my wheels on the D3 from 18" to 19"

Did the drivers side 1st at normal ride height, them moved the car to give me more room and thought it would be a good idea to raise the suspension for the passenger side.

Now all 4 are fitted ive exercised the suspension and the rear passenger is sitting higher .

Can i reset without any ID plug in ..?

Thanks

I can't see how what you've done would have upset the ride heights. Take it for a short drive and see if it sorts itself out. To make adjustments to the ride height you need an IID, Nanocom or equivalent. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

i'm most probably completely wrong but wouldn't u have to tell the system u have different sized tyres fitted , i.e. circumference and if it will alter the speedo

will be interesting to see what the more knowledgeable members say Thumbs Up

If the tyre profile doesn't make up the difference then yes you should adjust for it but it shouldn't create a ride height imbalance as there all "wrong'. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

If it's standard 18" (255 60 18) and 19" (255 55 19) then it's the same rolling circumference hence no change. That's why the one size skinny spare works with 17" (235 70 17), 18" & 19" wheels & standard tyres. Thumbs Up

This Thumbs Up

If its still off afterwards, it would be worthwhile checking the height sensors move freely, and are not seized to the suspension arm pivots Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread

Eg going from 255/55 19s to 255/60 18s the rolling circumference is almost identical. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

Been out for a run and it looks like its level but when you measure the gap on each side the passenger rear is still high ...!!!

This might sound silly but are you measuring on level ground? My road is quite curved so mine always looks high or low depending on what side of the road I get parked. And thats after it sorts otself out when you park up and get out. 2006 TdV6 HSE.

Did you measure it before you made the changes?
