Front slow to raise

[roamer]

Hi.
When raising suspension rear goes straight up but front is very slow,
Access to normal 45sec
Normal to off road 1min15sec.
Dealer recalibrated, but just noticed still the same.
Anyone got any ideas. (D4 3lt ) :confused:
Cheers Ken

leaky tank ?

That is slow. Mine does both transitions in <10 sec each and always has done.

(Edit) Yes, rear first as per the following posts.

On mine the back comes up first but the front is up very soon after. <10 sec's

As is mine, less than 10 sec but rear usually comes up first. 2008 D3

Yep, mine too - rear first, quickly followed by front - well less than 10 secs (D4 3.0). Sorry - sounds like a leaky system, as previously suggested.

Hi Roamer,

Had a similar issue and the system reported intermittent suspension faults. Eventually the front sat on its stops and then the back did the same; had to rush off to the dealer.

Diagnosed as a compressor overheating - $1500 for a LR (plus 10 days delivery) unit but purchased one from rovercraft overnight for $1000. Once fitted the issue was still there…turns out a hose and “banjo” connector were loose. Tightened this up and all was good.

I have suspicions as to the compressor being faulty – may just have been overworked due to the leak? Moral is, get it looked at before your compressor fails from overwork.

Hi Colin,
Have been on to dealer( D4 only done 3000k), it will lift rear and front up quick first go but then really slow second, dealer thought bad batch of compressors, (probably done from new) compressors on back order, seems as though there is also a pipe that can be kinked as well.
We will see.
