Default Occasional leaky air suspension

I'm sure somebody has seen this before! My 2005 V8 Super front rt front air suspension leaks down when its cold out. When the temperature drops below 40 degrees the compressor runs but wont pick up the car. The air leaks around the strut tower but not at the electrical connection. When the temperature is above 40 the car never sags. Can this be a bad air bag? How can it hold air and then not? Does the system have a relief valve that could be faulty? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum dp69stang,

Intermittent faults are the most difficult to troubleshoot but one that's temperature specific specific should make it a little easier.

Follow Norri's link to the X350 section for help, advice and information.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Hope it turns out to be a straightforward fix.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham
