Jacking with Air Suspension

[Stressless]

:renntech:

Hi Everyone,

I have gotten a lot of good info on this forum so thanks to all! I have just had tires replaced on my 2004 S. I have 25k miles but have winter wheels and tires so the N spec. tires lasted 15k like everyone else. A Porsche dealer did not replace the tires but a local quality shop did. When I picked up the Cay the air suspension control was jammed in the rearward position and a fault showed up on the dash screen. I pushed the suspension control forward with a little effort until it returned to the normal centered position but the air suspension fault still showed. I turned off the ignition and restarted at which time the fault was gone and not retreaveable from the display. However, now the special terrain mode requires more time than normal to be reached and requires a recharge of the accumulator that was not required before. The vehicle also seems to sit differently in the normal setting than prior to the tire change.

I suspect that the shop did not lock off the suspension by holding the control forward before lifting the vehicle.

My question is this. If the suspension is not locked off and the vehicle is raised, can that cause any damage to the air suspension components? Thanks in advance for any replys.

I think you may need to get the air suspension re-calibrated with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

I figured as much. Thanks for quick reply :notworthy:
