AllRoad 2005 collapsed front suspension

[Amphitryon]

So now this is in the 2001-2004 forum, hopefully you have noticed this other thread: Allroad Air Suspension Problems

The sudden failure seems a bit odd but struts (bags) which start to leak and compressors that wear to the point of not being able to raise the suspension before the control unit gives up are discussed at some length. You can test for leaks by parking, engaging jacking mode, measuring the height, leaving it a good while, for example overnight, and measuring again. Compressors can often sorted out with one of two kits from bagpipingandy, either a piston ring or piston ring+cyclinder so much cheaper than a new compressor.

The date of this section could do with changing to 2005 as normal 4B production ended in January 2005 BUT the AllRoad ended in August.
