Audi s8 2007 air suspension leak?

A8 All/ S8 All
#1

Hey guys the air suspension on the front right strut goes down completely after about 2 days of sitting and the rear right is down but not completely flat. I dont know much about air suspension. I do know when I got the car the front struts were replaced with airnott at some point as for the rear struts i rebuilt them myself because they were leaking bad. The car has about 170k also when I do drive around the air pump is off and on im not sure if thats normal thing.

Lastly haha is the ac compressor easier to change on this car then the s6 or is it about the same?

On the S8 if you can get a smoke test machine and smoke test the air lines. You should then get a better idea on if the leak is in the lines or in the bags. Sometimes you’ll get smoke coming out of the bag seals.

The compressor for the air ride should cycle often.

IMO the S8 AC is going to give you more room to deal with then the S6

Would i smoke it from where the air hose connects into the pump?

Hopefully it’ll be a quick swap
