I've got the sag going
I park on a slight hill with front end pointing downhill. This week I've noticed the front end sitting super low after the car has been parked overnight. Car rights itself after start up. If I leave it parked in level 2 I don't have this problem.
Anything that can be done at this point to minimize the issue or pending repair? Thanks.
Vehicle is an 04 with 62K on the odometer.

About all you can do is buy a new set of bags (at least the fronts) from Arnott. Rumor has it that they will be doing another group buy (20%) shortly.
Good luck.

At the end of the month, I will post a code for the Arnott sale. Should probably be another 20% off code but I am not sure of the details yet. After that if you dont want to buy theirs, folks will be listing their current airbags and shocks for sale since a lot of folks are upgrading. My Gen II kit and shocks are going on in a week or so and I will have a 6 month old Gen I and 1 year old OEM front airbag for sale if you are interested.

I would be interested in your OEM front bag (if the price is good)
Problem is that I live in Holland, Europe.
Wonder if that would be a problem (due to the shipping)
My allroad really needs a new front left bag.Just keeps droping as soon as systems drops to level 2.
Driving around in Level 3 does not give me any problem.
But when car drops to lever 2 I just can hear the air escaping.

I will let you know when I get them off and see how bad shipping would be and let you know. For what its worth, Arnott ships to Europe, and GenI bags with the GB code are pretty cheap and you get the lifetime warranty. I will be in touch either way though.

Since you already know you need your front/left bag, you can try sliming it to buy some time. Like the green tire slime. There have been several people who have successfully done this and had the bag last quite a while.

You are correct about Level 3, It will drop to Level 2 above 80km/h.
That means that on my way to work when system drops to level 2 due to the speed,pump just keeps working to get the system in the right position.
As soon as I enter an area where I can do 80km/h I manualy lift the system to level 3.
About GenI bags,what do you mean by GB code??
And will th Arnott Sale also be available for the first Generation bags?
I saw on thei site that they cost 299 USD each. But If I go to Ebay, they offer 2ea for 499USD.
If they give me 20%off of this 499USD then it will be a bargain.
Unfortunately they do not offer 2ea for this price on their site:

Not sure where you are seeing the 2 Arnotts on ebay for $499. Interested to see that link.
Arnott ALWAYS has a 10% off coupon code which drops the Gen Is to $270 each. The group buy if is is 20% will apply to anything on their site (compressors, bags, conversions, etc) and will make the Gen I fronts $240 each or 2 for $480.
Hope that helps.

Oeps. You are right it was not 499, but 598 USD. (I was thinking in EUROS hahaha)
Ebay
So when I order new Bags and checkout on their site, price always drops with 10%?
And when the SAL will start it will give me 20%.
Or do I need to enter some Coupon Code? (if yes, where do I get this code from??)
of course, if you can offer your bag for a desent price I can always look at that
