Suspension fault- front left sensor vs self lowering

Hi

Simple question
does faulty level sensor in front left area could cause suspension lowering after some time left

When I drive except "suspension fault" on the dashboard all is ok, lowering etc works ok.

when I left the car (key to the pocket) suspension left on the last postion
After some hours in parking (garage) car is lowering to lowest level

is it normal during "sensor" faulty condition?

rgds
Andrew

The standard test would be to raise the suspension to off road height (the highest setting). If after 12-24 hours one corner lowers, then it is either the airbag on that corner leaking or a leaking pipe.

Then you should spray soapy water around the airbag to check for a leak.

I had one of the very rare cases of a leaking pipe rather than an airbag!

After night with open door(battery charger pluged) all car lowered
How about that? As I said I have faulty left front sensor (faults checked by diagnostic soft)
IT could be conected?

Possibly.....but more likely you have a leak somewhere.Stick on Off Road height and do the soapy water or listening test.

You may need to put your back to the wheelarch and lift with your legs to get airbag up a bit more for leak to show itself.

If you eliminate the bags then you will next need to look at the cross over valves (behind inner wings) and reservoir (under cover) for leaks on connections, then to the compressor. .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember Wink
