W204 C220 CDI
My car sometimes switches to Sport mode by itself. (Excuse me if this has been covered already - I’ve seen similar posts but I think they relate to ride height level sensors on cars with air suspension?)

I was convinced the Sport button on my humble C220 CDI only altered the auto box gear changes but now I’m wondering if I have some kind of non-standard dampers equipped (and the systems faulty hence the uncommanded switch to auto?)

When I do a VIN check I have this option: VEHICLE DYNAMICS PACKAGE

Does this mean I have fancy dampers? If so is the symptom I’m experienced indicative of a common failure?

The cars perfectly drivable in ‘sport’ mode but if the dampers are on the way out I’ll have to get them swapped out. Thanks
 
No need to reply. Wrong forum section and I’ve also discovered that my car does have ride level sensors so will explore them first.
