93 mk v111 with air ride problems

[jrswinm8]

Hello, I have a 93 mark v111 and the suspension leaks down but in lots of different ways. Sometimes the front will go down overnight and at other times just the rear will go down. At times the entire car leaks down. The rear will occasionally leak right away but then it will pump up and stay until the next day. It will also leak down just on the left side front and rear while the right side stays up for days on end. I have tried changing out several thing such as the entire compressor assembly, control module, height sensors on front but nothing on rear. The computer never gives a check air ride system. Does anyone have any ideas or help? Thanks.

Welcome to LVC!

Sounds like your bags have minor cracks causing leaks. Read here:

Thanks for the advice!!! Could there posibly be a leak in the solidnoid on the strut?

Could be from an O-ring, but it's usually the bags

same problem with my 93 like 2 weeks only the front though it would sometimes take 2 days to leak down and sometimes in 3 hrs, changed the front struts and problem fixed.
