Self Study Program 994303 – Adaptive Air Suspension

VAG SSP 994303. Today, designing a chassis must overcome conflicting requirements. A car designed to be very comfortable when driven at the limit, falls short in terms of driving safety. On the other hand, a car with exceptional sport tuning achieves considerably higher cornering speeds and reaches its limit much later, but is usually very limited in comfort.

The equipment must deliver not only universal purposes such as function, safety, strength and durability, but also comfort, reduced weight and premium acoustics. To satisfy these contrary requirements, the 2004 Audi A8L is equipped with a new, fully load-bearing, Air Suspension System with electronic dampening control.

This Self- Study Program (SSP) is not a Repair Manual. Its purpose is to describe new designs and functions. All values in this program are meant to help your understanding of the program and are based on the software version that was valid at the time the SSP was developed.

For service and repair work, use the current technical literature.
