Hello

just got 2007 V8 tuareg and i gat this red alert code says "fault running gear""
From visit the dealership we got the codes: 01400 & 02250.

The alert code pop when we start the car, and the compressor start working and raise the car/or while driving
When the car stays "off" for few hours the front start to drop down on the (passenger side 1st and then the hole front)
For my opinion compressor working fine, it seems to have air leak from one or the shocks/airbags or losing pressure from one of the elements related.
My question is that:
Should I run and buy a new air shock or start (which I think there's a hole in it) check other directions? Eliminate some other problem? Or

Thanks allot
Ohad.

Use some soapy water to find your leak first. Then replace whatever is leaking.

It could be one of the front air springs. Or it could be a line or a fitting at the air spring or at the valve junction block which is near the compressor underneath the vehicle.
