suspension question

Yesterday, I put my rrs in off-road height and lowered again.I checked the height (centercap-wheelarch) and it was 47,5 cm on each corner. Today, after a day of driving I rechecked the height and only one corner was 47,5cm, the rest was lower, between 42 and 45. What's going on...?
please advise
cheers

I think it only alters the height if is more than 10cm out.

Do you get any red flashing lights above the wheels on the 4x4 info screen when you lower it? I had the same problem when one of my ride height sensors was dead. Drivers side front was sat higher than the rest.

everything seems fine on the screen, no red lights. The car drives very uncomfortable though. When I raise the car and lower it again it drives better. Compressor problem?

Probably not. If the suspension is going up and down on command, and no warnings appear on the dash after a minute or two, then you can probably safely assume that the compressor is running ok.
Much more likely to be a height sensor. Possibly need to get it plugged into some diagnostics to check.

Actually re-reading your original post, it could be that your air springs are leaking. Keep checking if it drops overnight on the same corners.

Definitely sounds like a sensor to me. When my sensor was replaced they also replaced the compressor as I would get the 'suspension raising slowly' message after dropping/raising a couple of times. If you also see that message it might be a combo of both? Get it plugged in, the sensors are pretty cheap. If there are no warnings it might just need recalibrating.

so today I did the same thing: suspension up and down. Got out and measured: again 47,5 perfect on each corner. I think the sensor are ok.I must have a leak somewhere. Better leave it to a dealer I guess.
