unlikely the front and rear struts have failed at the same time so I'd be looking at the valve block or compressor. If you are keeping the car then VCDS is a very worthwhile investment. For now, all you can do is strip the passenger wheel liners and put some soapy water over the valve block to check for leaks. If the compressor keeps over running, it can burn out.
