What do you want to do? You can recode it as "air suspention-sport" which, from what I can tell, makes comfort the same as normal is now, normal is the way sport is now, and sport is a bit stiffer again.

 

Yea I was thinking lower sport a bit, firm up normal a bit so it is basically what sport is factory, and set the throttle response the same for all 3... Comfort is a good ride but terrible lag on the throttle.

 

Interesting that you link a particular suspension setting to throttle lag.

Did you base this on anything other than personal opinion or have you found something that points you in that direction as It's the first time that I can recall anyone thinking the two being connected.

I may very well be wrong, but it is based on observation, and the manual does say for the damping control "Sport setting, for a sporty driving response"

I've also read in another comment "According to the Vw SSP 302 documentation, the damping system is adaptive to both car speed and driving style."

It may be the offroad setting that changes throttle response,,. I'm sure one of them does it, because sport dampening and left knob height setting is noticeably sharper pulling out for turns.

 

Here's SSP302 as it sounds as you have not read it, it documents the suspension on the Series 1 Touareg so would most possibly not describe what happens in the 7P (Series 2) vehicles as there has been some changes to design of the air dampers and compressor and are physically different and not interchangeable.
The principle of the system would not have changed but possibly it has been improved. Note quote on page 17, which sounds like what you quoted.
On another subject, would be a good idea if you put the vehicle model/year that you have as it will always appear as part of your member name.

 

The damper setting has zero effect on any other system (engine, trans). It is strictly for the 3 damping profiles of the shocks. Nothing else. Same as setting the gear selected into “S” does not change the air suspension at all.

You cannot adjust the damper settings with VCDS, ODIS, or any other program that I’m aware of. They are hard-coded profiles. The only thing you can adjust is the null calibration and some very minor tweaking with coding.
