C5 Hydractive 3 Suspension Sport Mode

Aug 27, 2005 6 Replies

I have just bought a 2002 C5 2.0 HPI Exclusive SE, the suspension appears to be stuck in Sport Mode, the backlighting on the switch is yellow and no amount of pressing the switch will change it. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there any advice on how to rectify it.

Have you considered taking it back to where you bought it from...

Private sale, no warranty. It was working when I left but has since developed this fault which appears to be intermittent.

I've not had that problem. Does it release that mode if you manually raise or lower the suspension?

I have tried that one and removing and replacing the fuses but it still sticks in sport mode. Occasionally it will be OK when I start up but soon drops back into sport mode, looks like it is going to be a trip to a main dealer.

Sounds like it's probably detecting a fault somewhere, and using "Sport" as a fall-back mode. Time to get the codes read, I suspect.

Having looked at the other posts, I can only think of disconnecting the battery to add to the suggestions.

best of luck with the main dealers.
