Default Bouncy car + green/yellow arrows on

Recently, my 2007 Audi S8 has been experiencing some extra issues.

The latest is both a green up arrow and a yellow/orange down arrow on my dash. The green one is constant, whereas the yellow one flashes. I've seen them come on before but they've always went away. It's been coming and going more often this week. When the arrows are on, the car is extremely bouncy. Seems like some sort of suspension/ride height issue?

Does anyone know what the potential issue may be? And why the problem seems to come and go?

Also, where TF is the power steering fill area? I've been under the hood and I can't find the ****er.

Green and amber suspension lights lit up just means a fault has been detected and the suspension system has gone into limp mode.

Could be caused by many things, but without any further diagnostic info it’s just guesswork.

Yellow means the air suspension is over inflated. Check the wiring of the shocks, air relief valve is faulty. Check my posts on suspension. Scanning doesn't tell squat
