    My D4 lowers soon after its parked

    My D4 (170,000 km on the clock) lowers soon after its parked - does that indicate an upcoming issue with its suspension?

    Lowering down to lowest level over time = leak

    Giving the LR air fart and levelling height after exiting car = normal

    Many YouTube videos on finding and resolving EAS system leaks.

    What perth disco said and
    Offsets may be out of calibration, can be adjusted with a gapiid or rovacom (flame suit already on fellas), tip is park it, measure height from 12o clock in wheel arch to floor at each corner, should be the same. If not you need to adjuat the offsets.

    Car will self level as soon as it stops, except when it knows it has a trailer connected of course

    I thought D4s dropped to access height when shut down unless this function was disabled in the system - or am I thinking of later models.

    Perhaps the later models. My MY11 needs the button pressed to lower.

    I always lower when rolling into the garage, less stress on the LCAs and bags. Shut engine down, EPB goes on last.

    No. D5 can do this. No D4s do this.

    Don't want mine to do it,as it would be a good way to wear out the air compresser.

    As soon as you move up or down from normal height the bushes are stressed so that is pointless unless you need the clearance.
