Been to see my local diagnostics boy and he has reset my air suspension at least 10 times now and every time i drive off i get air suspension inactive and its driving me nuts, The front O/S always deflates when this happens, i narrowed it down to a broken oring but it has been replaced and still the same thing is happening, was wondering if there is anyone near me that i could borrow a diagnostics machine from so i can find the leak without having to run down to my diagnostics boy every five minutes, I'm in Lurgan, Northern Ireland.

Really hope someone can help as i'm sick of throwing money at the car and i've only had it 2 weeks

Are you sure the air bladder isn't split??

As the bladder folds over itself, some splits are difficult to spot.

When i bought the car it had just had a new one put in, Well about 4 months ago, have all the receipts here for it, the valve block had a busted oring in it and what looked like tec7 to stop a leak, but now that its inactive again i can't even test for leaks

It is possible if the strut was fitted and not inflated before the car was let off the stands it can pinch the bag, also worth checking height sensors. Try rotating steering left to right lock also.

Failing that you would need to let us know what the fault code is, it is worth also checking for faults in other systems (abs etc) as there could be a fault elsewhere dragging the suspension down

I've done the left to right with the steering wheel and that doesn't work for me, I've just went and bought the icarsoft i930, got it for £69.99 from fleabay so once that comes i'll be able to see all the codes, if there is any others i'll drop them in to this post and hopefully get an answer to my problem, Thanks for all the help so far, can't wait to get it now, get the bag inflated and a bottle of soapy water.

it's best to go right through everything you can access and clear codes if you can drive it a couple of days and see what codes come back, i cleared mine yesterday i had 10 error codes on the transfer box alone, the problem being some of these codes will cause faults in other units i.e. suspension for example

Ok so cleared all the codes yesterday and i've just been out today to check them all again and i have quite a few but will need help with them, I've started a new thread on the trouble codes.
