Same old story ....SUSPENTION FAULT
please help I've had my d3 plugged in on a new snap on diagnostic machine if it makes any difference the fault was front right hand corner valve so I replaced it with a genuine new one ... Run the car clear codes and it still says normal ride hight only and when plugged in it still says front right corner valve still, can some body tell me where to start looking now the right corner does feel like it's got a weak shock if this makes any difference .... Please guys HELPPPP! After many faults I'm now looking at a petrol can and a box of matches ... thing..

according to the workshop man it might be caused by one of the following:
Right-hand front corner valve, general electrical failure --swapped so eliminated
Front valve block disconnected
Front valve block harness wiring short circuit to ground or high resistance
Right-hand front corner valve failure
Air suspension control module failure
good luck hunting it down

Have you checked the three wiring blocks behind the NSF wheel arch liner?
They can be prone to corrosion and cause some suspension faults.I see no ships........

to get to the mentioned wires you'd need to remove plastic wheel arch lining after you have removed outer plastic wheel arch 10 min job
