My car went low a week ago. I replaced the air suspension pump two days ago. Filled the tank with air now car went low again.

So, this system has a failsafe that only allows it to run for a period of time and when it exceeds this duration the pump will shut off, this is usually due to a leak in one of the air lift suspension-shocks. I have seen people use a soapy spray bottle and coat the air lifts to see if they can find the one that is leaking. Also, inspect the air feed lines to make sure they did not get damaged by road debris. Here is how to change the air lifts out. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response to any problems so we can see what to help you with.
