My front right is going down when parked >8 hours.
The rear left goes high.
When I start the car, it rises back and the green light comes on to say the car is lowering! I think this is because the rear is lowering.
I never get a yellow light, also never hear the compressor at all in 9 years of ownership. I have no idea when it is on or off, is that because it's a diesel?

I was thinking of getting this valve where you connect it to the strut instead of the pipe and blow it up like a tyre, and then can see if the strut is leaking by leaving it overnight and see if it sinks.

trouble is, not sure exactly what is required for the A8 D3, the seller has other similar items.

Also, two front struts can be quite cheap now - £450 a pair delivered...
