Thats a result on the suspension.

The level sensors work by sending a pwm signal back to the module so if there was moisture in there that would definitely screw things up.

Hope you compressor rebuild is as painless.

compressor could also be running too much as it'll be constantly letting air out and pushing it back into the system to try and level it out when it's confused.

Compressor repair kit ordered, want to get this sorted before the compressor gives up completely.

Car is booked in with my friendly local independent VAG specialist for next Tuesday to have the compressor repair kit installed. I know I could do it myself, but the weather and time of year is not the best. The driveway outside the house is currently a sea of mud.
