First air suspension issue
4 weeks into D3 ownership and the air suspension throws a wobbly.
After a night of very heavy rain, went out this morning in the D3.
Started normally and set off along the farm track, after 50 yards the green low clearance light pops up and goes out again. Green light stays out until I am on the main road driving at 60mph and it comes on again, except now it stays on.
After another mile the amber light pops up, indicating issue with suspension. Car feels fine, so I carry on to my destination which was only another mile or so.
Arrive with both lights still on, so I check the MMI, and all looks fine.
I get out, expecting to see either a wonky car or a car on the decks but no its at its normal ride height and looks perfectly ok.
So I go and do the shopping, get back to car which still looks ok, hop in and start the engine. Green low clearance light still on, but the amber one has now gone out.
On the MMI I tried the different settings, Lift - the car goes up and the green light goes out, Auto - the car goes back down and the green light pops back on, dynamic the car goes down and the green light stays on. So I pop it back to auto, car goes up and now the green light goes out.
Drove home, no issue at all. Tried the MMI settings again, the car still goes up and down normally and all seems like it did last night when I parked it.
When my laptop has some charge in it, I'll pop out and scan it with VCDS. Who knows what I'll find, watch this space.
