Gents, Advice please, I noticed the cayenne was sitting about 25-50mm lower on one rear corner (2014 diesel s on air) it seems to level up when driving, the extended warranty runs until Feb, but it’s a pain in the arse to get it booked in at the local (2.5 hours away) dealership, any thoughts on whether it is likely a straightforward fix?
Thanks
G

Rear air spring has a leak. If it goes down overnight then it is quite bad, and your compressor will be running constantly to keep it up.

New genuine part is around £5-800 depending where you buy it.

The ones on Amazon are fine, around £145.



I guess it depends what you are doing with the car going forward with regards warranty etc.?

I would recommend the Arnott replacements. They aren't cheap, but equally aren't as expensive as genuine. They're really good quality.
Rears really aren't difficult to replace (the most difficult part is accessing the air pipe to undo it).

Mine was dropping overnight, but it was a slow leak and wasn't running the pump excessively. I was regularly towing with mine too.

Raise car to highest setting, then turn of level control.
Put masking tape from wheel arch to centre of wheel, pull it tight.
This enables u to c which tape is loose, and concentrate on that one,you can spray soapy water over the bag area and look for bubbles.
