suspension fault without fault notification (no error)

Does anybody have experience with this situation:

Front right corner drops to access height. I have the impression that the left corner drops as well but a lot slower. The situation can be recovered temporarely by raising to off-road but the front right corner will drop again soon.

I got a warning mention in the display only once when the problems started - afterwards nothing. On the 4x4 display you can see that the system is messed up.

The dealer replaced the heights sensors but this didn't solve it.
We are now waiting for some valve.
The dealer is confused because even when the fault repeats itself, the electronics do not give any error messages.

I have a 2005 car with only 90000km behind the teeth.

Any suggestions? Some people get by

It sounds (obviously without knowing much apart from what you've described), that you have a leak on the front right corner.

It could be the pneumatic air-spring, the tube going to it, or more likely a faulty front valve block....if it is the block it could either be knackered or just have a leak where the front-right tube is connected.

This is probably the valve they are going to replace and I would guess that there is a fair chance it will solve the problem if you're lucky

I had the whole front dropping slowly with the right side quicker than the left. Changing the front valve block slowed the whole process but didn't cure it. Then a leak was found at the top of the right air bag. Since changing that there has been no drop at all.
