The compressor and all cables / sensor are under the spare tyre. It´s a blue cable for the passenger side and a red for the driver side that goes from the compressor.
It is possible to have level sensors at all four wheels, even if you have only rear air suspension, (my car does). If you have the self leveling headlights, you will have sensors on the front control arms as well. I have no clue as to whether a bad front sensor can screw up the air suspension on one of these...maybe just the headlights. My car does NOT have adaptive headlights; just the self leveling lights (they don't turn with the car, they just go up and down).

The components can be very costly here, so it's really best to get a proper diagnosis before replacing anything.

absolutely agreed, need to get scanned with DIS/GT1 to see what faults you are throwing, i was just saying if the control module is indeed bad it is much cheaper on the rear air only models than the 4 corner guys.

Have been out now and i also have a sensor on the passenger side.

It was like this: Last week i was in the garage to change tyre, i lifted up the passenger side to shift tyre and after that i took it out and then it was like this. So can it be because of the angle it was when i where lifting it? Then the car was high on passenger side and low on driver side so can the sensor axle "jump out" from position?

Think the front sensor hook up somehow?

It's possible for a sensor arm to over extend and go the other way. That could be your issue since you had the suspension fully extended when changing the tire I think the arms are supposed to face out....
