Leak in suspension air bladder
I have a leak in one of my front suspension air bladders. Has anyone changed one out and if so, how hard is the repair? WHat is the disassembly/assembly procedure? I can do just about any repair on any car but this Audi scares me.

There seems to be a rash of failures of the front air springs
I just replaced the right front on my 2001 AR. Replacement is not that hard, remove the strut with the bag , remove the bag, line it up, and replace.
You need to order the bag , and a kit with replacement fastners, and O rings. This will set you back about $350.

take it to the dealership. its prolly the gasket at the bottom
it costs about $65 to replace it. They compress over time and become square and need to be replaced (every 3 years or so).
