Air suspension issues

[charliev75]

Hello members


I have a problem with my X5 Air suspension. Here's how it started, I had leak in the left airbag and I replaced both airbags as recommended with brand new Arnotts. Ever since the replacement, when car is parked it drops the left hand side and the system wakes up when the car is unlocked or any door is opened and it inflates to the correct height ride. I would like help to fix this once and for all. Looking forward to your assistance

^This is what mine is doing as well. I have not replaced any components yet as I have another x5 in the garage getting a rebuilt valve body and other work.

I am suspecting the valve at the accumulator but won't know anything until I can actually look at it. Others have suggested re calibrating the ehc2 module as well. Best of luck, I've read many of these types of threads and more than a few of them have ended with removal of the air suspension in favor of coilovers or spring setups. I personally really like having the air suspension so will fight it until I've replaced everything if I have to.
