Air suspension Fault

[ijm1965]

On Friday evening I had the yellow air suspension fault light please contact workshop message. Over the weekend it has gradually dropped a little (it seems to do this normally when the temperature goes up and down a bit). Then when started this morning has the red message air suspension and says to stop.

AA couldn't find the exact cause but suggests that normal failure is the air compressor and maybe relay. Is this the most likely?

Does anyone know where is the compressor located on the car and can it be repaired? (google suggests earlier A6 model compressors can be repaired easily).

The pre 22-07-19 build date compressor system is a known problem and there is a revised system that it is recommended to fit in full so as the known the problem has been solved, what is the VIN so I can check the build date?

Maybe worth speaking to https://www.bagpipingandy.com Others on here and other forums have reported very good outcomes from him.

VIN is WAUZZZF27KN006455 reg date Oct 2018 so sounds like the known problem. Are there any details I can give to the local garage to help them. They are very good but any extra information always helps.

Build date 26.04.18 so the first step would be to install the later compressor system 4K0 616 005 C which costs £1975.

Thank you, 4K0 616 005 C is expensive in the UK - USA price is $800 and in Europe 650Eur.

You say the first step, is to replace the compressor system (which I think at the same time it is recommended to replace the control relay) are there any further items set to 'fit in full' as per your earlier post.

The price should be approx same, are you comparing dealer prices or search engine BS? The system is supposed to come with all you need, it isn't just the compresore, it is the entire system.
