Anyone on here have experience of re-setting Peugeot or Citroen AMVAR electric suspension?

As per Pug 407 V6 Coupe and Citroen C6 high spec models.

I have Planet Peugeot software to connect to the car but can't find instructions on how to do the reset.

The car is a 2007 407 Coupe and the system works by having a sensor inside each wheel arch to measure the gap between the wheel and the body, this in turn affects the pressure sent to each shock (by a motor in the top of each shock).

Anyone recommend a specialist who has done this for their own AMVAR system?
(Please only reply if you have experience of doing this job on an AMVAR equiped car or founds someone who could do it). Our local main dealer and local Pug specialist know nothing about doing this job.

thanks

407 and C6 use completely different suspension - C6 is hydraulic, 407 is steel. AMVAR is variable-rate damping on top of steel coils, so the ride-height adjustment can only be a bit of a limited workaround. I think I'd start by speaking to Pleiades in Sawtry, Cambs - they're mainly hydraulics specialists, but it wouldn't surprise me if they'd got some knowledge.

Thanks for that good knowledge.
Yes correct there is no height adjustment its a re-set of the sensors to know what height each one is seeing / re-calibrate them will give them a try.
