Default air bag

Every once in awhile i come out to my car and it down in the front? this happens about once very 2 weeks. there is no real reson for it. I opened the hood once while it was down to check the engine oil and the front came right up? could it be a sensor that is letting the air out of the front bags? it cant be a leak as it only happens once in awhile. i have sprayed the bags, which are fairly new i might add, and no leaks are present. any idea's

Mine was intermittent at first and then they finally went out.

There were links on QW to downloadable PDFs of Audi publications explaining the air suspension system. Try a search there.

When the driver's door is opened, the air spring controller senses this and re-levels the four corners (providing there is enough air pressure stored in the accumulator). However, if the "Jack Mode" is enabled, the re-leveling does not occur.
