Problem with excessive bouncing and uneven ride height in the Audi Q7 Diesel 2005 - Possible defect in the air suspension

Hello, repair professionals! I currently have a problem with my 2005 Audi Q7 Diesel. It is bouncing excessively and has an uneven ride height. I suspect that the compressor of the air suspension might be defective. Have any of you had similar experiences and how have you been able to fix this in the workshop? I would appreciate your tips.

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2007 Audi Q5 Diesel, a different model but the same make. I have little experience with cars, but I can tell you about my experience. At my garage, they found that the air compressor was faulty. It cost me 890 euros, but since then my car has been running like new again. To be able to help you more precisely, I would need some information about your car. Have you ever checked the fault memory or replaced certain things? That could provide important clues.

Hey, thanks for your reply! At the last service at 209670 km, the garage didn't find anything unusual, except that I need new brake blocks. I haven't had the fault memory checked yet, I should probably have a look. Apart from that, I haven't replaced anything major yet. Maybe I should take the compressor into further consideration. Thanks for the tip!

Hey, no problem! Yes, if the garage hasn't found anything abnormal, it could well be that the compressor is the problem. It certainly sounds like your air suspension is no longer working properly. It's best to ask the garage if they can check the compressor. Since replacing it is quite expensive, if I were you I would really want to make sure the compressor is the problem before replacing it. Hope this helps a bit and if you have any further questions, let me know!

Hey, your advice is very helpful, thanks! I will definitely have the compressor checked. I just hope it won't be too expensive. But what don't you do to get the old love running smoothly again, right? Thanks again, I'll be in touch if I have any more questions.
