Self Leveling Suspension

[DrumAdrian]

I am not sure what could be causing this issue for you. I have a similar problem but I drive often and don't have to worry about it too much.

My only advice would be to really read around this forum to find a fix someone else posted or consider going to the stealer to get a diagnosis and fix it yourself.

Good luck,

Adrian

My (self level suspension inactive message) did not appear as often now, however I suspected on my dashboard only specially after my car been sitting
in my driveway for 2 / 3 days without starting the engine, which cause the rear vehicle to be lower a little bit. And this also cause the (self leveling) sensor to activate the message on the dashboard. But like you said, I really don't worry about it because I drive it only: 20 to 30 miles per month very short trip around my town. So I just go outside every 2 days to start the engine by the way you send power to the level suspension system.

Either something is loose or the hose and/or bag are defective. Did you take any pics of the installation? Some pics would help us see. In any case try spraying the air bag and hose with soapy water, if you see any bubbles forming then you have a pin hole leak. Also check the air hoses under the spare tire where the air pump is located, one of those hoses could be broken as well.

Ensure that all your fuses are working meaning (not burned out), If not, there could be a cut off somewhere, I'm gonna check it out for you 2morrow coz I'll be off.

Just an update. My indie shop finally found out that the new air bag that they installed was defective. They conducted a leak test and found this out. They will prepare report to claim to BMW for the defective part. I have to wait another 2-3 weeks again for the new replacement part.

hopefully it is indeed the air bag like i suggested to you since the beginning

they probably supplied you with a used air bag passed off as new.

indy that claims warranty from bmw PI/ACC? san yan?

anyway what will happen to the other parts you replaced but turned out wasn't defective?

i have a bmw x5 3.0d e53 2005 model x5 sportpack.i have air suspension in the rear what does it actually do since i cannot adjust the air myself

If your vehicle has extra weight on rear end, the ride-height sensor will detect this and use the air suspension to return the vehicle to the programmed ride height.

If the lines are good and not leaking at any connections, and the bag is good, already replaced... it could possibly be the valve block/solenoids not seating properly and letting air past. The valve block is in the hump with the air pump, worth checking.
