Picking up an A8L next week with air suspension issue
I'm picking it up next week. Thankfully it's not too far away from the house. but its air system is inoperative and it's flat on the ground. I aim to flatbed it out of there. Any issues with that?
I was thinking maybe I may also try and air it up with a remote pump to make getting it on the flatbed easier.
I'm getting this for a steal and aside from the suspension issue, it's in great shape.
Plus I'm an old mechanic who loves electronics projects and a good challenge (yes I have a Vag-Com and Audi experience)

The compressor does not work. I think the computer was disconnected as I dont see any warning lights on the dash.
I Think im going to bring some wood planks to make a ramp up to the flat bed.

You can drive even if it's low to the ground, just avoid potholes. At least you can see how the car is running and MMI is working.

Thanks for the advice. I love your air spring replacement videos. Its one of the reasons to buy this car. Good information!
I have already checked out most of the systems. Runs and drives well.
How are the airsprings doing ? still working?
Thanks again

Find the problem correctly and you will have a great car, don't replace good parts and introduce new problems in the process.
Cheers and congrats,
