| Goes into 'extended' when 'access' selected |
|
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but I couldnt find a reference to it...
When my wife's '05 D3 is put into 'access' mode it flashes up a message 'clear obstacle' and goes into 'extended mode'. It doesn't do it every time. Any suggestions as to which expensive component might have failed?!..
Thank you! 2005 D3 S 7 seat

The vehicle thinks it is stuck as the suspension will not move low enough.
Mine turned out to be the front lower control arm bushes being stuffed.
Could also be the air suspension is not venting. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Generally, I have found it to be the compressor, in almost all cases.
It happens because the car cannot dump the air quick enough.
However, it could be a blocked dryer, or pipe someplace My D3 Build Thread

That was the sign my compressor was on the way out......also "vehicle raising slowly" was another one...
The fault code,as both said above,read as the compressor not exhausting properly  "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I picked a full working compressor up off ebay from a salvage vehicle for £56 a couple of years ago as a spare, but never had to use it , then sold it. the compressor on my 2006 D3 was sold to my brother in Canada and its still going strong and its now 8 years old and covered a couple of hundred K miles.
so, try a second hand salvage if you don't want to spend £500 on a new one
seal kits are about £90 if its that the problem
there is one second hand compressor about to end currently at £150

Why would the compressor relay need changing with the replacement compressor as stated in the eBay ad?

I'd always change the relay. It's only a few £ and it works like a Trojan so is expected to fail at some point b Bodsys Brake Bible
