This is from an L322 owner so take caution..But...sounds like the air compressor is overheating or the air output is at a high temperature ? Couple that with the fact that it takes a long time for the car to reach normal ride height suggests that the compressor could need an overhaul or it is fighting a leak. Thus over running and heating up.Best tactic is look for a leak first, hope this helps. Does the compressor make more noise than normal ? |

That's good news about the warranty, takes the pain out of the situation, repairs can be easy, it's the diagnosis that can be a long path. |

Just let them know you only want them to fix it if it is covered by the warranty or you could end up with a huge bill..

Could I ask roughly how long it takes other members l405s to go from access height to normal? |

Very quickly, if you select it manually - seems a lot faster than the L322. |

Thanks Philip, that's how I imagined it should be.

Nothing blocking the air going into the compressor?

I could check it electronically Gremlin via diagnostics but unfortunately my SDD install is playing up.

It could be a number of things including leaks at the valve blocks, sticky valves or a leak in one of the air springs. It might be worth getting the soapy water solution out and having a spray around in the absence of SDD or an IID tool. Mind you, if you have a warranty, like you say, get the dealer to do it. Kev
