I thought I'd just ask to see if I'm missing something.

So right away from start I have both yellow and green lights flashing
until the compressor temps out and shuts of. Green continues to flash.
Car can only ride in dynamic mode.
I changed the driver strut.
No lift at all.
I have soapy tested all struts and see no bubbles.
The compressor runs and I believe it to be and full strength.
If the compressor runs then fuse and relay can be ruled out.
All I can think of is valve block but would be surprised if it just failed as I was getting lift (other than the strut I changed) before I changed the front strut.
Air line is attached.

Just wondering why absolutely no lift and may I be missing a possible cause not listed above ?

Thanks.

VCDS codes would be good to know. Did you check all the lines and the valve block with soapy water as well? Also just because the compressor is running doesn't mean it is putting out enough pressure.

no I did not check valve block or lines with soapy water
reason being is that before I swapped the strut I was getting lift even with the hole in the strut I changed out.

I will have to get the vcds from my guy.
when I last had it it did detect "leak in system"

I was just wondering if there was anything I wasn't considering.

If the compressor piston ring is worn, It will not put out adequate pressure nor volume of air. A pressure gauge will help prove good air output or poor output.

It's not a bad idea to just go ahead and rebuild the compressor. It's cheap insurance.

Use VCDS to measure the pressure sensor while the compressor runs.
I believe it is in 34-Level control, and then Measuring blocks. You should be able to see the compressor temperature and output pressure.
