2004 Allroad

Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that the front end of my 2004 AR seems to sag after parking it for a few hours, around 0.5" in 14 hours or so. The sagging is pretty symmetric.

I normally park the car at level 2 and when I get into the car and start the engine, the level 2 light is flashing, as if it is raising the car from level 1 to level 2, although I left it there at level 2. It seems as if the back of the car is not sagging, just the front end.

Just called the dealer and he told me that sometimes the rubber in the suspension goes bad due to road salt but since I have hardly driven the car in bad weather and since it has only 2600 miles (5 months old) on it, I'm not so sure if that is the case.

Has anyone of you had the same issue and if so, what was the solution?

Thanks for your help!

I've had it several times already. Was covered by my extended warranty.

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for your replies! I'll bring your ideas up with the service manager when I take it in. It seems to be intermittent I think since this morning it was fine after 1.5 days in the garage. Everything seems to work as it should, it raises and lowers correctly at the different speeds, just sometimes sags a little and then flashes the level 2 light on start up. I'll post back after it has been in.

I am out of warranty, but Morgan Hill Madman!! and I (actually mostly him) changed my left front bag at his house a few weeks ago. Took 45 minutes start to finish. Turns out this is a VERY easy fix. About $300 in parts and a six-pack of Coronas.
