    Cold Air or Leaking Suspension

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi guys,

    New here on the forum and new audi owner. I have a 2016 S6 and it is the first car I have owned with air suspension. When I left for work this morning I noticed the car was sitting differently. The rear of the car was sitting normally but the front was almost on the ground. The temperature yesterday was in the 50s and this morning when I woke left it was in the 23. Do you think this could be the problem or could the suspension be leaking? When I started the car it took a bit but the car came back up to correct height. I measured it and will measure again when I get home from work to see if it dropped any.

    Any thoughts?

    That’s not due to cold air.

    Do you have a lowering module or is it stock?

    If I were to guess, you have a slow leak. Search here, I think it’s a fairly common issue.

    Thanks for the feedback. I made an appointment with Audi on Monday to see what is going on. Car was all the way down again by the time I got home from work.
