Been having some weirdness with the suspension recently and now it has decided to give up!
Firstly, sometimes the front o/s wheel will sink to the ground when the car is left parked up. But it doesn't happen all the time, which is a bit weird because if there was a leak I would expect it to happen every time???
When I pull up at traffic lights, the front end lifts up into the correct position - presumably it has 'sunk' down whilst being driven. Although it never sinks down to the stops.
Final weirdness, when it is cold (less than zero degrees C) the front end takes ages to come up to position. Other than that, the suspension normally comes to correct height within a few seconds of starting the car.
I was driving down the motorway yesterday and it beeped three times and said 'EAS fault' and all my lights are lit up on the height control. Suspension still seems to work, as in that it goes up to the correct height when I start the car, but if I sit stationary I can see the front stay level, then slowly sink, then come up quickly. It does this in a cycle about every 3-4 mins.
Any idea what may be wrong? I'm hoping it is one (or more) height sensors and nothing serious. How easy is the system to diagnose? and any hints/tips would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt.
