uh oh....spoke too soon the other week on a post about reliability of SLS. 50% of the time when I park up my rear spring on the left deflates...sounds like a sensor??? Which one. The spring is fine...don't want to pay the dealer $XXXX to replace something I can do myself in 20 mins.....anyone???

check the o-rings in the valves and spring. then check the lines for any leaks. i replaced the o-rings in the 00 and its stopped leaking.

sounds more like a pneumatic problem v. an electrical problem. Does it happen more when it is colder out?

Most probably leaking around the spring, but could be anywhere. I would start at the spring and work your way forwards!

Very soapy water (dish detergent) in a spray bottle is a great way to find leaks. Just soak it down and watch for bubbles.

I have the same problem and i am going to check it out today. If i do find a leak in the hose lines somewhere and not in the o-rings is it easy to replace the hose or do i have to have the dealer do it.
