Bmw x5 e70 2009. After some help please.!!
I had a leaking rear air bag. Turns out both had leaks and were changed along with a faulty compressor. Only two days after getting my car back and the suspension has gone down completely over night. Has anyone else had similar problems and what was the cause.

Re: Air suspension
As the main parts of the system have been changed its likely there is a leak at one of the connections to the bags or compressor so some soapy water will be needed to find it. Check the level sensors are still attached too as they can pop off.

Hi,same thing happened to me,turned out that when fitting new bags the mechanic damaged the new one it took a few days to appear,took it back and they replaced it,no issues after that,hope this helps.

Re: Air suspension
I'd check the connections as mentioned as that is the most likely issue. Otherwise perhaps the sensor arms when the bags were fitted have been broken etc.
