Hi richard

but you say it’s boy racer low, is that lower than it’s lowest setting? Show us a photo of how the car sits, if the error light is flashing the car is lower than its lowest setting, when you start car does error light flash and compressor run for 120 seconds?

best regards

Hi andy

Yes, lower than dynamic which is the lowest setting. And yes, the error light flashes after the compressor runs for 120 seconds. No green “lifting” light at all.,

Bit dark at the mo but can get a pic tomorrow...

ok, when it is that low it will not keep sinking, it’s either a weak compressor or a big leak, refurbish compressor and check for any air escaping, I worked on my friend C6 recently where the hose from the compressor rubbed a hole in itself, check for this,

If both front and rear are low rear should be trying to lift, feel to see if it moves when error light flashes and compressor runs,

Andy, do you happen to know which values are in cm34, channel 003? First I assume is pressure reservoir pressure, but what is the other one? The second one drop immediately after the compressor shuts down.

And a photo of what you mean, I cannot think off hand what the value is

best regards

Hi All, I have recently bought my first allroad an 05 plate It has started to drop down to the bump Stop if left for 6hrs+
Rear drivers side. I have left it overnight at all 4 different levels and always drops down, on start up compressor starts and it always levels it self up no problem. Looking through the service history the whole corner was replaced less than 6mts ago could a new bag develop a hole that quick? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
