Audi A6 Allroad compressor location

That is a valve block problem, very common.

A flashing light usually means the car is lower than the lowest suspension setting, does the car sink down very low?

Can the car lift up through all levels?

What pins did you break?

This fault usually suggests the car is out with the +-5mm tolerance but we need more info to help diagnose, answer questions above to give us more info

Best regards

Hi Andy, really appreciate your posts and read quite a few as I'm trying to fix my suspension problem. I have the same problem on my 2012 C7 Allroad. I.e. when in allroad mode it never sinks overnight, but in dynamic or comfort mode it sinks right down, and looks like the back right is the lowest so presumably that's the leaking bag...

Do you have any tutorials or advice for how to fix the bag? And where are you finding a £50-60 replacement part? I've booked it into audi in a few weeks time, but would much rather save £ and do it myself, though I'm quite a newbie mechanic.

Many thanks,
Laurence

Ok so it sounds like a leaking airbag okay, if you want to confirm what one park in dynamic setting and enable jack mode on, then only the one with the leak should sink very low,

The £60 ones are on eBay for the c6 allroad, to be honest I’ve not looked for c7 rears yet

Hi Andy,

thanks very much for your prompt reply. Today I took off the back right wheel (first time) and gave the air spring a proper spray with soapy water. I found that the spring itself isn’t leaking but the air hose / line connector is where it enters the air spring.

Think I might try and replace this if I can do it while leaving the original air spring in tact.

Thanks for your advice!! If you know what part to buy and how to change that would be amazing.

Be VERY gentle, the thread in the top mount strips very easily.
