Air suspension front ride height

[Wendal]

Hi all,

I’m not sure how this happened, or why this happened. When the car is parked the front lowers to super low but the back will be normal ride height. When I get in and start the car, the car gets back into normal ride height. It’s still happening as we speak. This just happened yesterday. I was wondering if it happened to any of you guys?

Probably your ride height sensor isn't connected to the suspension (or your sensor is faulty).
Check just above the wheel if the link is still attached to the sensor and upper suspension arm.

If the link is not connected, how could the car return to normal height after it is started?

I tend to agree. If the car is sagging on one end or one corner, it tends to suggest there is a leak somewhere in the system.

Closed loop.
That's a back-up system.
But then again, it would generate a error code...
That is not the case so it also could be a leak in the system but that should also throw an error code...
Wierd...

Check to see if the car is on a level surface. My Panamera will level the car to true level not simply follow whatever the ground is doing when I am on a slope, this means that the wheels gaps look different from wheel to wheel. When you are actually on a level surface, it should look perfect.

I checked again, this happens on all surfaces. I am going to Porsche service tmr and will get back to you guys in what may be the problem.

The shop just called back, they said there is a leak and needs to order parts in and change it….. however the parts are back ordered and don’t know how long it will take.

I was stranded outside Hemsedal (this is in the middle of the mountains) after the front suspension collapsed. Only noticed it because I wanted to raise the suspension back to normal and it just kept on blinking. It took a 3 or 4 weeks before the parts arrived. And this was in about exactly a year ago. Hopefully you got a decent loaner.
