Hi,
My s7 rear suspension drop each night, (both side )
When I open the door or start the car, it raise with no problem.

When I let the car in (level 2: high mode position) snow mode) the car don't never drop.
If I let the car in level (1osition: normal )and Jack mode after , the car drop.
I make a scan without any code ,

Please help

Sounds like normal functionality to me.

Thanks for reply but many morning, the car (rear both side) is completely down (tire inside wing) pretty sure that is not normal. This phenomena has started last 2 months

If you have an accurate way of measuring your cars height in this mode let me know. I have a big height Gage at work and can check and give you more data to compare against.

The car is completely down,, you cannot see the upper part of the tire ,, impossible to measure

If I put the car in snow mode (up) the car never drop

Please post a picture, but that does not sound normal at all.

but when I open the door the car raise up , and everything work perfectly ,,, something happen when the car is turned off

I have not had this issues with my S7, but did have this issue on two GM vehicles with Air Ride. Although the GMs did not air up when opening the door, they did air up upon start and would stay airred up while driving. One difference between the Audi and GMs, you can hear the air compressor noticably in the GM. The Audis (and Porsche) are super quiet. What I caught in the GMs was that the compressor was running more often to keep the air ride at correct height. Comes to find out, there was a lead in the air bags themselves and had to replace the suspension in pairs.

My theory, you might have a leak somewhere.
