I would like to thank you, Mr. Danny... Thanks to your videos, I was able to open a car maintenance workshop in Iraq. Thank you from the bottom of my heart... Please share a maintenance video with us every day, as we learn a lot from you.
Top job mate the amount of people that don't realise you have to cycle the key if you have a problem like this I've seen it a lot of time and garages people are chasing problems when all they have to do with cycle the key great diagnosis mate sorted!!!
I will say it is one of the best video on diagnosis of this kinda problem. I have seen people just throwing parts on the name of diagnosis, but my friend you do know clearly what actually is going inside.... Keep it up buddy...
I think Dan seems to have quality viewers. Some times a huge amount of viewers just brings more problemsand unpaid work. In saying that dan is a great person and technician.
Diagnose Dan you’re awesome! I wish we didn’t live so far apart so I could meet you! I am a tech on copiers and printers and I use a lot of the same methods you use to diagnose the machines I work on. Keep up the good work!
Another great video and great tip about disconnecting and recycling the key. These computer shutdowns can really be a pain. Fuel injector shutdowns for misfires as an example.
This is such a great channel. And Dan reads all the comments and stays up late to answer them. Let’s enjoy that while we can. When he has 100,000 subs he won’t b able to. But he will remember his first subscribers😄
Here, when measuring the sensor, leave the control wires connected at all times, as they are insulated. Don't waste time with puncturing and breaking the insulation. My friend, you are a doctor for all car brands. Thanks for learning me and people .
I still say that Beamers AUDIS are terribly over engineered, and very complicated to diagnose. Hats off to you Sir for having the patience, and the knowledge to perceive to the end.
Hello again Dan, Holland you say! Your English is very good my friend, I rate up there with Keith, Eric O and Ivan. I like the way diagnose.. (Short and sweet) and your funny too, what more can we ask for?
interesting see the computer shuts the 5v reference when detects fault , would of confused me that one . Will have to think more about cycling key/clearing codes on these sort of faults as could waste hours and parts if over looked it . Danny fixed it again lol . Good see family involved and having fun at work ...
In some countries..It might be a good thing to scan for goats. (: Great Video again Dan. I've been enjoying watching your videos. Keep up the great work and the commentary endings too. Very nice to see some good old fashion fun especially along with your kids too. Cheers (:
Yet another great video that I personally find very useful. I own a high mileage F11 520d and its off-side rear air suspension is constantly altering between being fine and normal and lowering itself mostly (and luckily) when the car is stationary. The air suspension is able to maintain its level for many days when "in a good mood" without assistance from the air compressor, so I do not think that the rubber balloon or valve, etc. is at fault. There may as well just be a shorted wire there. The point I'm making here is that I always wondered about the workings of such systems (i.e. where the angle/level height sensor could be). I suspect that such faults are often addressed or fixed by replacing modules/parts that are otherwise fully functional. Also, the fault would soon reappear... Many thanks again for clarifying the issue for us.
Barna Soós check for a leaking air spring! They often fail on this model. There are very small leaks and they are hard to find. As the airspring changes position it can temporarely seal it self. Good Luck!
DiagnoseDan Many thanks DiagnoseDan for that suggestion. I would more than happily check the airspring for leaks but unfortunately don't have access to a garage or a proper lift. I have seen here on CZcams another chap check for leaks with a spray of soapy water.
What diagnostic tools do you recommend for the home mechanic. Working on Bmw 5 and 3 series. I presently have a Foxwell, does a ok job but seeing your screens seems like the way to go. Thanks P.S. Your a good instructor and appreciate your time to do this.
I Start to like All of your videos,really good staff and now i`m so dissapoint that did`n know about your chanel before few years,It make my day easyer !! But now i start to worry about all problems who leave Holland forever,and were they go now ...
Thank you very much sir, I have learned a lot of things from your video s and please explain why we had the voltage difference (+5v and 0v), the test light still did not light(i thought that the Air Suspension Computer opened the circuit but if the Air Suspension Computer opened the circuit to protect itself, why the PowerProbe still showed 0v)? Thank you and hope you all the best.
I have a 2007 Audi A8 and I’m having the same problem. Before I purchased the car the air suspension was replaced...now my car is very low in the front but normal in the back, I took it to get looked at by multiple mechanics telling me to get regular shocks so I won’t have to worry about the problem again . Will my car ride different or should I keep the original suspension on the car ?
I have a 2012 Audi a 8L. I replaced a leaking right front strut as well as replacing the negative battery cable in connector in the trunk. The suspension will operate for about 10 or 15 minutes and then the yellow light will come on and disable the suspension system. I have also noticed that if I am at idle when I first get in the car and start it if I sit for a few minutes without moving the light can come on then as well. I have raise the car to the lift mode and then put it in Jack mode and there is no decrease in height was left overnight. I do notice a difference in the amount of height at the different wheels however. Nobody in my area seems to be able to diagnose what is wrong with my car. Driving around town I have no issues typically. If I get it on the highway usually after about 10 minutes the light will come on and disable this is suspension. I don’t know what to do with this car as I have had a couple people look at it to no avail. It’s driving me crazy and making me want to get rid of the car. Any ideas? Thank you so much for your time.
this sensor is same as the sensor for xenon light? if the sensor for xenon light is defect give same trouble codes for suspension ? pleace reaction for this question , thank you
Just got an '08 A8 and noticed the front passenger suspension will drop if the car isn't on. But when the car is on suspension is fine. Could the sensor be the problem?
You answered my questions.. I had replaced air strut and the air pump... And it was doing great till the other day and the front dropped.. the pump will not come on even when I turn it off and back on..
@@Thokid yes it needs to be calibrated .. it will lift up in default mode... But it's not a great idea to drive like this. It need an alignment and calibration at the dealership.. unless you want to buy and $800 VAG scan tool or software
I have seen you mention one tool that I do not know the name for it has wiring diagrams and diagnostics ? and you said is one of the best tools to come around ? Name please ?
Hi Dan not sure if you will still be replying to questions but my air compressor won’t stop pumping only when car is on green light is on most of the time Sometimes yellow for a small amount of time . Car has not deflated at all . Would this be a relay issue or pump issue any help would be much appreciated I live in small town with no mechanics thanks heaps
Thanks for the great videos I have an audi Q7 2008 with air suspension green and red arrows blinking on my dash board display any suggestions you may have for this problem Thanks Saúl Usa
Hi Dan, as always a great diagnostic video full of clear, easy to understand explanations. Could you please let me know what system you use to obtain your wiring diagrams, as they seem clear and easy to follow. Keep up this brilliant work and thank you for any help you may be able to give me. Best regard, Joe
Hello, I have one question. Is it possible my rear side sensor to not allowed the air suspension to go lower, because the rear side is more lifted than the front and what is the price of the sensor now? Thank you a lot.
When I was a kid I lived in Helmond and went to school in Eindhoven. I live in the States now, in Oregon. Really enjoy watching your videos and I've learned a lot. Thanks. What part of Holland do you live if I may ask?
Yeah a little, but not nearly as well. My Mother is Dutch. I've been trying to teach my 2 young children some Dutch. If I remember correctly our time zones are 12 hours apart. Hey thanks for teaching us some of your skills. Really enjoy your videos!
I would like to thank you, Mr. Danny... Thanks to your videos, I was able to open a car maintenance workshop in Iraq. Thank you from the bottom of my heart... Please share a maintenance video with us every day, as we learn a lot from you.
Top job mate the amount of people that don't realise you have to cycle the key if you have a problem like this I've seen it a lot of time and garages people are chasing problems when all they have to do with cycle the key great diagnosis mate sorted!!!
Top job, by Europe's Nr. 1 youtube tech, that's a great compliment.
Thank's Leon.
( your also Europe's best looking mechanic🤣🤣)
Hello Dan,
Where is your shop located.
I have a similar problem and would like to have is diagnosed and fixed.
Greets from Almere
I will say it is one of the best video on diagnosis of this kinda problem. I have seen people just throwing parts on the name of diagnosis, but my friend you do know clearly what actually is going inside....
Keep it up buddy...
That's a Nice thing to say👍
Been watching lots of you're vids, top quality content. This channel needs more subs! keep up the great work!
I'm glad you like it!
I think Dan seems to have quality viewers. Some times a huge amount of viewers just brings more problemsand unpaid work. In saying that dan is a great person and technician.
@@rimmersbryggeri 😘👍
You deserve way more subscribers. I don't have an A8 but am using your videos to teach myself more about European cars. Good stuff Dan.
Thanks 😉
Diagnose Dan you’re awesome! I wish we didn’t live so far apart so I could meet you! I am a tech on copiers and printers and I use a lot of the same methods you use to diagnose the machines I work on. Keep up the good work!
Very well explained to a novice (me). I have now diagnosed the fault whilst watching you on this video. Thanks.
Ha ha Great!
Great teacher. One of my favourite channels.
Great video Dan, back here in the US love watching your videos. Diagnosed Dan fix it again
Another great video and great tip about disconnecting and recycling the key. These computer shutdowns can really be a pain. Fuel injector shutdowns for misfires as an example.
The computer protecting itself... I'll have to remember that if I ever run into the same disappearing voltage issue. Nice!
Thomas EXOVCDS, 😁
This is such a great channel. And Dan reads all the comments and stays up late to answer them. Let’s enjoy that while we can. When he has 100,000 subs he won’t b able to. But he will remember his first subscribers😄
I will Bill! And yes it's getting harder with every video to answer all comments but i'll try as long as i can😊 (I almost missed this one😉)
Good video Dan. Your videos have gotten so much better in the time since this one. Keep rocking it!
Here, when measuring the sensor, leave the control wires connected at all times, as they are insulated. Don't waste time with puncturing and breaking the insulation.
My friend, you are a doctor for all car brands. Thanks for learning me and people .
nice to see you check and prove the faulty component before replacing same as I had done for 20 years
You did a beautiful job demonstrating how a faulty sensor can fool you.
In this case the customer got away cheap with just a bad sensor and not a leaking strut. Great stuff Danny! 👍
Nick Nicu, Yes this time😉 Thanks for watching!👍
This time. Eventually the air bag or compressor will fail.
Excellent session !
Very informative. Thanks Dan
Your welcome!😊
Good job. Cool watching your older video
Very good diagnose! Great video Dan!
Great camera work, you guys have a great sense of humour 👍😃
I'm new to your channel. Really good video. Love the teaching, the humor, and your son the camera man is really good too!
I just wanted to comment to help you with the CZcams algorithm. Another great video! Thanks Dan!
Thanx Dan. Brilliant video. Waiting for more!!
Thanx colin! There is more to come👍
I learned 2 things here, Danny!
1) that the PCM will protect itself in certain conditions...new to me.
2) that you're playful...had suspected that😏
🤣🤣😉👍💪
I learned to never buy another Audi.
Well explained again .... Looks so easy . Thanks for the good tutorial .
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video as usual. Thanks Dan!
thanks again and another great video, he's a good camera man.

Thanks Billy😊
anytime Dan!
I use to like this generation of Audi A8 until I heard how bad this was with the reliability. Thanks Diagnostic Dan for your explanation!
In some countries..It might be a good thing to scan for goats. (:

What diagnostic tools do you recommend for the home mechanic. Working on Bmw 5 and 3 series.
I presently have a Foxwell, does a ok job but seeing your screens seems like the way to go.
Thanks
P.S. Your a good instructor and appreciate your time to do this.
If your foxwell does the job, than that's good enough. Thank for watching!

Nice vid as usual mate
Thanks!
Hi Dan, do you by any change diagnose motorcycles? I did see the bike at the end of this video but I can't see the video. Would be great if you could👍

Hi Dan,
Does the 4.6 volts on the signal wire come from the ECU as a bias voltage?
Thank you
great job mate ...where is the best place for wiring diagrams dan?
Depends on what cars your working on and how much your willing to spend
Hi Danny. I really like your short and long back probing test leads. What brand are they?
The back probes i used in this Video came from GMTO
Surprised there arent more likes on this video. Thanks for the info

Excellent

HI, Dan i been follow you, you make great knowledge videos, where do you live?
Hi Dan. It very useful video. Tell me please, how much does this diagnostic cost? Thanks

Hello, I have one question. Is it possible my rear side sensor to not allowed the air suspension to go lower, because the rear side is more lifted than the front and what is the price of the sensor now? Thank you a lot.
Jordan Djalazov It is possible but you can diagnose the sensor like in the video.
Succes!
I do not remember the price.
I have the next fault: 01768 sensor for vehicle leveling right- voltage supply. Audi A6C6. Can u tell me your opinion?
