Air suspension will not lower

The air suspension will not lower as though there is an obstacle and will automatically rise to max height. The SDD reads a fault saying suspension valve. Since this happened after changing the 2 front air springs I suspected it would be the front air valve but changing it did not help..... any ideas anyone please

We have the same issue after front air struts replaced and rear upper arms also replaced. When parked up when selecting access height it will raise to extended height and info will say drive off from obstruction and the same for offroad height to normal height. Have done a height calibration but made no difference. Apparently when moving it works as normal and can select access and offroad with no issues. We have 4 brand new height sensors and have changed the front so far but the new front RH sensor is showing a fault which is pointing to maybe corrosion on the sensor plug. Once we have changed out the rear sensors then will I know if it is the newness of front air strut maybe not deflating or inflating at same rate as rears. We have also change the front valve block prior to front air strut being replaced. D3 TDV6 S MY2005

Assumed you have diagnosed it being a blocked dryer and relaced the dessicant and fault has cleared. D3 TDV6 S MY2005

My D3 was exactly the same and would never lower or vent correctly and constantly bringing a fault up so contacted the guy who i bought it off and he'd fitted the latest AMK pump but not upgraded the software....25 pound at my local indy now running perfect, hope this helps

I had this phenomenon occasionally but it disappeared as soon as I changed the drying beads and filters in the dryer. I also got the "venting gallery" warning from time to time.

Peter. Did the change of filter and drying beads solve the venting gallery issue as well?

If you are close to Uppsala/Alunda and need diagnostic help I have a Nanocom for D3 and D4.

Thx.
I've got the GAP tool.
But when passing Ekerö, you're always welcome for a brew.
Very Happy
