Default my back end has fallen out please help

i popped out the other day and my back end is really low and the air suspension lights are on and there is no movement from the car setup suspension settings, ive had a computer connected and its brought a few results, i don't really understand it, but there is a lot there, i think most of the faults are due to the battery going dead. i would love any help to sort this out, the lad who had the vagcom has cleared alot of the problems, but i dont have a vagcom readily available, i'll send this as a attachment due to the size. and i have listened to the compresser working and checked the fuses

Looks like you have a leak in the system. Could just be that one of the connections is loose, or you've got a failed shock.

Could be a leak but I would be inclinded to get a live read of all your level sensors first. If one of them has gone it will go in safe mode.

The leak detection error is worrying though.

The car has many many faults. I suspect you need a new battery and it coding in correctly. Then clear down and see how many are real.
