Air suspension issue - Please help me!
Ok, second time at trying to post this - it seems first time round failed as I had to set up a new account last night
(I'm locked out of my previous one, GRA, and before that gR@HaM_s I cant post in at all!!)
Anyway, all seems to be sorted for the time being..
I have a 2007 (2008MY) 957 TT purchased earlier this year of which I have been very pleased with.
However, its now developed an issue with the air suspension, will drive no problem in 'normal' ride height setting, but will no longer drop down to 'low' of which in the past I've always driven the car (personal preference).
The compressor sounds to be running ok, and on the basis that the suspension will raise to 'normal' height after attempting to be in 'low' I'm hoping the fault is not with the compressor. PASM also seems to be unaffected.
I've had a diagnostic run at a local VW specialist which came up with the following:
08577 - P2181 MALFUNCTION IN COOLING SYSTEM (must be unrelated)
2250 VALVE OPERATING TIME EXCEEDED (this I expected as the compressor will time-out before the fault flashes up on the dash)
1400 CONTROL POSITION NOT ADJUSTABLE
Looking on the internet it seems this may be due to a fault with one of the sensors located on top of the struts(?) I'm also wondering whether one of the release valves is stuck.
ANY help/advise here would be very much appreciated, as with most people I need to keep the cost down and am ideally looking to fix myself.
Something else that has been needing attention is a very slight clicking sounds coming from the front right wheel/suspension area when going over bumps, I've been thinking this is a bush that needs attention and not related to the recent air suspension issue, but maybe worth mentioning..
Thanks
Graham
