Air compression malfunction

I own a 2019 Audi e-tron Prestige. It’s been great overall, but I recently started getting this warning: “Air suspension malfunction, car too low.”


The first time, it showed up as a red alert. Since then, whenever I start the car, I briefly see a message that says:
“Air suspension malfunction, car too low, controlling low car level” — but it disappears after a few seconds.


The car still drives fine, but I’ve noticed the front right side seems a little lower when it’s parked in the garage.


Has anyone else experienced this issue recently? If so, how did you get it fixed, and what should I expect in terms of cost or downtime?

I'm sorry to hear about your AS malfunctioning. You may need a new or rebuild front AS strut assembly


All the best

I would not just throw parts at it in hopes it fixes it. Generally, it sounds like you have a leak somewhere in the air suspension somewhere. So it is a matter of identifying where that leak is exactly. It could be a strut as posted above but it could also be something more simple. Unless you are willing to work on the suspension system yourself, a trip to the dealer may be your only bet.
