Default Air Suspension/MMI - Help?

2004 A8l 60k miles

Several odd things happening with the Automatic Suspension:

1. My car will no longer go into lift mode. White arrow will go on, but car never moves up and after a minute or 2 the selction on the MMI screen grays out.

2. After driving any where from 30 seconds to several minutes, all other choices on the MMI gray out except dynamic. (I keep my car in dynamic mode usually)

3. The yellow warning suspension light is NOT on.

4. I have reset the MMI. No change

4. It seems the air suspension is just not working but no warning lights or CEL have come on.

Anyone experienced anything similar or have any suggestions?

Have you checked if you're not in "Jack Mode" or "Towing Mode"

Check battery display; if below 50% the power management system may be shutting it down.

Default It might be a faulty compressor

I experienced similar symptoms a few weeks ago in my '04 with 60K and the dealer determined that the compressor was at fault. Luckily, it was replaced under the CPO warranty.

Default Re: It might be a faulty compressor

Thanks. Looks like a trip to the stealership is required. Hopefully something simple and mechanically faulty or broken. I have the extended warranty, but the last 2 repairs "weren't covered" so I am pretty aggravated with it. Anything without a specifically broken part seems to be outside of warranty.
