TD5 2003,

I raised the suspension with the dash switch yesterday, and now it wont go down, i drove for 12 miles last night and it is still stuck at max height?
any ideas, it had new air bags and ride height sensors 8 months ago.

Click to expand...

no nothing flashing but orange car with arrows(sls?) in bottom left of dash on permanently, also if i press button to raise or lower suspension, light comes on but go,s straight off, usually flashes while car is being raised or lowered.

FL9(30A) engine bay too.... R5 relay...though if it doesnt lower either there isa problem witht the ECU cos the exhaust valve which must release the air is commanded by the ECU itself....check contacts at the exhaust valve plug...even measure if it gets feed when u push ORM to lower.
My advise is to plug in a scanner ASAP
