...that an airspring has a slow leak.

PS Mine did that repeatedly, and I tracked down the leak to the front right airspring. It's a stupid easy DIY (assuming the pinch bolt is easily removed). You will need a 8mm triple square male socket, but that isn't super hard to obtain.

the airspring was replaced under warranty by dealer ($373 parts $240 labor)

You most likely have a leaking front airspring. I had my right done 3 months ago, and my left yesterday. It leaked in level one and would sink when parked. Leaked while driving in level two - a little - you can tell because the relays under the dash click more often. Didn't leak in level 3 or four.

You're using your compressor harder if you drive around on leaking suspension.

TGFCPO!

What level are you parking in?

park tonight in level 1...what happens in the morning?

Friday park in level 3

then again in level 4 the next night.

You may have a leak in the air spring wich may only leak when in a particular level. If the ar lowers in all levels, it can still be a spring leak but can also be a tube, fitting, or other part at fault.

My indy shop in Denver says that parts are on national back order, and it could be as long as 2 weeks until an airspring shows.

ANd they replaced the windshield. Audi dealers may have priority. THis was Elk Mountain in Glenwood Springs.

they were and if you page genuineaudiparts he should have them in stock.
