Front Air Suspension Down
- The front air suspension is down. The passenger side is 1/2cm lower than the driver side. The whole car is tilted to the passenger side.
- The air pump starts to run once the car is unlocked, but stops when the front suspension is only half way up. I can hear the air pump.
- Starts the car, the front suspension will be all the way up, and drive normally.
- Within an hour, the front suspension will be back to down again.
- No message on dash.
- No error code found, no live data provided by the iCarSoft MB II scanner.
- Visually check the front suspension, air bags, while car on ground and wheels still on, using soapy water, can’t find obvious leak.

Most likely the passenger side air strut has leaks? Tomorrow let me remove the strut tower cover and also check valve block and air lines.
Now how to fix this:
1. Cut the bad lines, but how to make the end a bit round like that? See the last photo.
2. Found two lines leaking, passenger side front and rear, matches to the symptoms. Shall I do all 6 lines?
3. To replace the whole lines with new seems too much work.

I am going to leave it like this for a few hours more, then drive it to see if all sides will be leveled. Then leave it overnight, a few days, see how it goes.
