Default 2004 A*L Relay location for air compressor ???

Hi.
I've spent at least 2 hours trying to find a diagram of the fuse and relay location for my
2004 Audi A8L

can anyone post a photo ?

Much appreciated if you can.

trying to diagnose a 'leak in system'
starting with cheapest
like fuses and relays
and a spray bottle of soap.

I hear the compressor working, but wonder if it's working properly.
will inspect for loose hoses etc.

all my problems started right there at the front left wheel.

now car rides in 'safety mode' where the whole suspension is shut down basically.

any other thoughts, I thank you.

Firstly there's no need to post the same question all over AudiWorld and in this forum multiple times.
People will answer, given time.

Fuses and relays are a symptom, not the problem.

You cannot easily repair a leak in a strut - typically they are replaced with rebuilt ones from Arnott.
Edit: $698.50 each here: https://www.arnottindustries.com/par...17_pid174.html

Check the struts, valve block, and hosing as Misha and others suggested for leaks.
Repair/replace as necessary.

The compressor and/or relay will eventually fry if you keep running the vehicle in this condition.

Suggest purchasing a factory repair manual.
If you are in USA goto https://erwin.audi.com/ ROW goto erWin Portal

The valves can stick, use a little bit of compressor oil on the compressor air intake under the driver's side front. Access by taking off the wheel fender cover.
