Default 2011 A8L 4.2L Air ride warning

Has anyone experienced a warning on display for the air ride control with the car icon in between a up and down arrow.
Then display says to limit speed to under 35 mph. Note ... my car remained at its current height and after driving over 60 mph car still drove fine.

if you have experienced this.... what was the root cause and your fix

Yes the picture you showed with the car in between 2 arrows is the pic that come up on my dashboard display. But as I stated the car drives fine and doesn’t drop down in height?

You need to pull out the error code using VCDS or OBD11

A regular obd2 tool might not be sufficient as some code are VAG specific.

Keep us posted !

Hey how's it going? I'm curious to know if this error code will show up on an odeleleven. I've had a similar error code in my previous car (w220 S430 4matic) and it was telling me an "Airmatic" error and same thing no drop in height or anything. Some say it may be voltage related from a ride height sensor.
Sorry for the non D4 related response but this may not be far off from any air ride issues.

There are so many sensors in the air suspension system. If you aren't seeing any sagging after it's parked for a night or two, I would assume it is something simple like a sensor. Would take more than obd reader to find though I'm sure.
