It could also be a leaking air spring causing the compressor to try and keep running. As we all know, the air bladders are notorious on allroads for eventually failing and it's not a matter of if, but when they will fail. I just had to replace the rears on my wife's '02 allroad with only 49K miles but the 11 years took it's toll from age. I went with the Arnotts which saved me hundreds of dollars vs. the OEMs. I'm figuring the fronts will be next. It's a good idea to determine if an air spring is leaking as soon as possible as the compressor can only take so much of the extra workout and heat from constantly trying to pump air.

i was wondering where i can get the air springs from? I'm gonna have a look and check for leaks and the pump. in the case they springs are leaking where can i get the new ones? FCP has them at a decent prince but they don't look the same as the ones on the car now, so i was wondering do they look different or am i looking at the wrong thing?

thanks

Go Arnott (buy directly from them for the lifetime warranty)- they've been supplying replacements for the allroad for years. They often run discounts for AudiWorld members. The make two kinds, standard and sport. I prefer the OEM ride of the standard.

where is the location of the pump? i scanned and got no codes though the light was on there. so i want to make sure the pump is working but unsure where it is exactly, can someone point it out to me?

thanks

Reason I think it's the pump cause the car isn't dipping after the light comes on it stays at the lowest level

just curious if the car isnt elevated to the proper or at the very least the min ride height would it cause the car to vibrate? i know i have another thread in regards to this but im just thinking of everything that might cause the vibration when accelerating or simply keeping at a constant speed

One convenient way to check for leaks is to park the car, lock the suspension(by holding up and down buttons for three seconds) and measure with a measuring tape from the center of the wheel to the flare. Write all four measurements down(with their specific location, i.e. front left 402mm, etc.)
Next morning go out there and measure again.
That is if you can't visually tell if the front or the back of the car is lower/higher already

Oh the rears are def sagging lol looks like its touching almost the pump isn't working at all and nit leveling it up to the level I think I'm facing two issues rear ar are leaking and the pump gave out trying to constantly adjust them
