Hi guys, recently had the Drivers front airbag burst while driving, replaced air spring and shortly after had a fault with the height sensor on the same side, think i damaged it by dropping the axle to change the air spring. Anyway ive changed that height sensor as well. All was well for a while then last week its been taking ages to get to full height sometimes, and the front right has been lower than the rest of the car but showing on the level indicator as if if has reached normal height, then tonight both front corners have been fairly low (around motorway height) and the rear normal height, even then it shows as if the car has reached normal height on the level indicator, so not sure, any ideas?
many thanks

the height sensors may need calibrating

i did think that, but usually after a while it returns to proper height all round, otherwise i had assumed it would be that. Could a slow/sticking valve on the front right be the cause? or would that mean that the height indicator would be flashing?

quite possibly,do have any eas software you can do a diagnostic with,just to see if there is a soft fault

im going to purchase the cable and software off ebay, does that allow you to check your height sensor height/target height? and calibrate them at all? Really odd the fault, Surely if the system thought it was down on the front right then it wouldn't show full height, i drove home with it low at the front again, when i got home i set it to offroad then back down to normal and it sat where it should. I just cant understand why it is down front right if it knows where it should be at, but it still shows as if it has reached full height.

it sounds like the hight sensor is sticking may be worth while checking. just cos its new it dosent have to be working propperly, talking from experience.
