Air Suspension

Hi All,
I've noticed after my 2012 D4 XS has been parked for a few days that the front suspension has dropped (as though it is in the lowered position) although I haven't selected a different height. The back has remained normal. Is it loosing air pressure somewhere or would there be a valve letting by?

Any help advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim, stating the obvious,but it sounds like you've got a leak in the system. Best thing is get a spray bottle of soapy water and go looking. If you've narrowed it down to the front that's the place to start

merry xmas,
Tim

Hi Motolite, thank you for replying I will do some further investigating, I didn't know if there was a known weakness?
I wish you a Merry Christmas too

Search for the suspension worksheet which details how to monitor and which fuse to remove. That may help narrow it down to a corner. I've linked to it a few times but on my phone at the moment so can't easily find the link - sorry. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

I don't think it's a 'weakness' probably a combination of the weather conditions that you have to endure playing havoc with the pipes.

I've just come back after a 2 and half week holiday to find my Disco 4 sitting on its

rather.
Front seemed OK, it's never been like that after just a week, so can air just escape gradually or is there potential for a leak?
It started first time once button though and rose immediately which was encouraging.

There are plenty of threads on air suspension issues if you do a search,however it will probably come down to checking for leaks with soapy water solution.
