The strut is not broken because the car still moves, but when the car rises up, after parking it for a time, the right front wheel is too close to the front fender, and it doesnt get to the required height anymore- it does display "stop, car too low" - any ideas?

The airmatic seems faulty, but not sure what exactly is wrong.

Remove your fat arse from the car

Do a diagnostic scan on the car. The airmatic system might not be condemed yet. It might be a sensor.

Kind regards.

@dan.

I think you are right. The error came up first time when I took the car to some rough roads and it the engine cover pulled out and i had it fixed to position at the garage. Maybe one sensor is out of place during the mishap. Anyway, i found a reliable garage with auto diagnostic tools - will be taking car in there.

Thanks Siena. I will be at the garage promptly.

Airmatic failure!  The error you will get would be an extended central reservoir time taking too long and possible areas of leakage.  Very common and the lifecycles to this system is very short.  There are cases where the airmatic fails within 10,000 miles.  Airmatics are to be replaced every 40,000 miles (recommended service life).  Do not continue to drive the vehicle because you'll damage the compressor.  Currently, the compressor would be working tirelessly to make up for its "supposed" inefficiencies.  It won't stop till it breaks down because intended conditions are not returned.  You won't appreciate the cost to replace this.  The best thing to do at this point is to disconnect the battery.  The compressor is still active trying to replenish the lost air.  Don't take it with levity, the replacement you have currently is $1800 in just the part without labour for one airmatic strut.  That's warning that the rest would be needing attention.  It is best to reinstall with the battery off.  If you know your layout well, taking off a terminal from the battery isn't needed, you can just unplug the fuse to the compressor.

Though the struts are pricey, I'd recommend that you begin plans to replace the remaining three. 



There are no sensors anywhere to look out for. The compressor is ok. You have the compressor, the central reservoir and the central unit. The current state of failure is to get you home/dealer and put things in order. Anything worse than the current state would render the vehicle inoperable for motion. Reinstalling is about 10 minutes with shop tools and a lift (deducting tyre removal and misc).
