RookieThe same thing happen to me, but my rear went completely out. I have an 03 Audi all wheel Quattro. You might want to take yours to the shop and check to see whats going on. pretty sure its the air suspension tho

CammieO, January 18, 2011, 10:40Rookieyes they are coil over struts. which replaced the air system in the vehicle.. its a lifetime fix for the vehicle. no more air problems at all.

MasterI can understand CammieO. We converted many Rovers to spring/strut system. They have 100x more problems than Audi-VW-Porsche and they are also very expensive to repair.

Answer #2
ZeeTech January 18, 2011, 10:23MasterThe first thing should be: check the suspension (the entire system!) for air leak. This could be done by spraying soapy water to the suspension's component, including the lines, fittings, valve and air shocks. I'd suggest to find a reputable VW-Audi specialist who is familiar with the system and have a VAG-COM diagnostic computer.
