Suspension fault - My fault
I managed to clip a kerb today - front and back wheels with a bit of force. No immediate problems but parked up later and on my return I have an amber light!
Drives normally but tried to lower and raise the car and I get 'suspension raising slowly' message.
What might it be.....height sensor?
It had a new compressor 3 yrs ago.
Anyone in East Yorks that could read the fault codes?
Thanks Mark

Tried my local indie yesterday to see if he would read the codes.....closed
I will try again tomorrow but could it just be that I have knackered the tracking?
I have checked the height sensors and they are all intact, I did hit the kerb with a bang

you probably need a 4 wheel alignment at best. hopefully nothing bent, they are quite solid - depends on exactly how "hard" you hit the curb
I hit a collection of tree stumps few years ago, a little faster than I should have:roll:
resulted in suspension issues, but the alignment sorted it Duncan

Gents, had the codes read and got;
C1A35-01: Resevoir Valve General electrical failure.
Am I looking for a split cable somewhere?

Probably behind the NSF wheel arch
But error codes can be spurious and misleading at the same time so it may not be electrical at all.2021 BMW iX3 Premier Edition in Carbon Black ⚡️🔌

OK, i've looked at the wires and connectors behind the NSF whhel arch and they all seem dry and corrosion free.
I took a look at the compressor and again all connector blocks are clean and corrosion free.
I sprayed the air lines and have this;
The car is running fine but when i put it into raised level i get the message vehicle raising slowly.
Are all of these faults related? [/img]

Worth checking that your air reservoir cylinder is not leaking (long metal thing under nearside sill) and it's also possible that you need to dry out your silica beads in the compressor.
Both relatively easy things you can do yourself.
