Hey Im new here .. and yes there are plenty of threads on here and other forums that Ive looked through related to the air suspension to see if anyone has had a similar issue but I am yet to find anything relevant. If anyone has had this issue or know of a post that would be helpful please direct me there.
So originally I had the standard problem that everyone has, where the bags would deflate over night and the compressor was making a horrible sound. First the compressor got replaced. The Bags then stayed inflated for longer but still slowly went down. Next up the mechanic replaced the bags on both sides. Picked the car up and everything looked great. However after driving for about 15 minutes on the way home started to notice something odd going on and soon after I got a fault come up on the nav screen which said something like.. level control system failure�.
I knew something was weird so I pulled over and had a look to see what was going on and what I saw was the rear right side air bag and front right wheel looked like they had been jacked up. The rear air bag seemed to be completely inflated and the left side was at normal ride height. I slowly and carefully got the car home.
When I got home I took a picture and sent it to the mechanic. He had no idea what was going on. He is looking into it for me but so far no luck.
The weirdest thing though is when I started up the car next and left it in park it started to go down and I was thinking YES!! But then it kept going and the left side went up and the right side was at normal ride height. I tried to reset everything by disconnecting the battery and leaving it disconnected for about half an hour .. but nothing changed. I drove the car very carefully around the block and then entire time I could hear the compressor going and I could feel the car changing height the entire time acting like a seesaw .. the right side would go up and left down and then the left side up and right down etc...
If anyone has any info they can share on this that would be much appreciated.. If no one can help I will end up taking it to the dealer workshop but obviously want to avoid that if possible. Thanks
