I'm a little confused as to what you are actually saying and looking the suspension to do.

You are disappointed that the Confort setting is like being in boat or that it is not like a boat? I did find that the RLine Sport setting seems a little softer than the same setting in my previous 7L as I can handle my local crappy roads in Sport whereas previously, (in the 7L) it was just too firm to be anywhere near comfortable so had to dial down a notch or two.

I was expecting, that in Comfort mode will be more softer 🤔

 

If it's the same as the r line in Aus, you have 21 inch wheels and low profile tyres, this impacts comfort.

 

This is definitely a major factor. Large rims and low profile sidewalls equals a harsh ride, regardless of suspension.

I find my ‘15 R-line rides decently in normal or comfort mode. We have pretty good roads here, though. No potholes etc. if you want a cushy boat-like SUV, get a Cadillac.

 

The OP has already said he has 255/55R18's fitted, so can't be experiencing harshness from original OEM 21" fitment.

Hmmm, I'm sure that wasn't there before? It does say edited... Though it could just be me not reading properly.

 

Ride confort is very subjective and individua tastes. You could try lowering the tyre pressures if you find the ride not soft enough in comfort setting. Does the screen show the ride height increasing and damper setting softening when you switch to comfort mode ?

 

Like I said, I am already running 2,3bar (33 PSI), do you think Its a good idea to go lower?

 

Air suspension can be coded to 2MA (Sport, lower) or 1BY/BK (Standard, softer).

 

Is it safe for the rline air spring to code a standard setting?

 

I have a 2016 TDi SE with 1BK air suspension/CDC - is there any way to widen the range of damper settings between Comfort and Sport - for me the Comfort is too harsh and the Sport too soft

 

So you purchased a "performance" iteration of the Toureg but complain when the suspension can't be dialed soft enough. 1st world complaint - too little research before purchase.

 

"performance" iteration and Touareg 3.0TDI is really funny phrase )

You'll be busy here, if you'll commenting everyone, who wants some advice and discussion But thanks, you'll be a great asset to the forum..

 

@Jarda34 - one thing I haven't seen anyone ask is "what" tyres are you running? I know they're 255/55/18 but what brand are they? Are they XL rated? Are they a brand with renowned stiff sidewalls? Keeping your tyre size the same but changing brands might also make a difference.

I can confirm that the Continental ContiPremium Contacts (275/40/21) I had on previously rode softer than the Opals FH18 (295/40/21) units I have on now. And, as you can see, I've gone up slightly in size so a few extra mm of sidewall, but still more firm due to a different construction and grade of rubber.

I rode in a Tiguan the other day with 235/55/18s. I took it to a service station to check the pressures in the tyres because it felt like I was riding in a brick. Turns out they're correct - just stiff sidewalls.

I'll also add that I've lowered my Touareg by one whole setting - ie my "comfort" ride height is now the original "standard" ride height because I was the other end of the spectrum - I wasn't getting enough tautness out of "Sport", combined with the fact that it looked like a cat on a hot tin roof (way up in the air).

For me, I now have a soft ride in Comfort for bad roads, a decent ride in Normal for everyday driving, and in Sport, the Touareg goes around bends flat. I can actually feel the suspension stiffen when changing from Normal to Sport (no change in ride height between the 2) whereas before it all felt just vague.

Start looking at tyre specs to see if you can get closer to what you're looking for.

At the moment I am running Continental WinterContact TS 870 P XL and I am going to change them for a Michelin Crossclimate 2 SUV. I will also try to code a "Sport" mode setting only for fun, I am interested how it fells like

 

You'll get the full benefits if you also change the sway bars with stiffer ones.
