Hi, I have been searching for many days for the issue I have in my car. The suspension is not moving and there is an amber light on the dashboard. It is on all the time and sometime green light also comes on. I went to Audi and they are asking too much just to diagnose this. When I searched I found it may be the fuse and relay for air suspension. I do not know where to look. I believe I found relay on passenger side under the carpet, but as per some forums I do not see the fuse there. Please let me know where can I found the fuse.

If the fuse and relay are good it will need to be scanned for codes check a local garage they can scan it for you as well. Relay is item 1 in picture.

Thanks for the quick reply, but it is still not clear to me where to find the fuse for the air suspension. Its suppose to be next to relay, but I believe its for UK model and in US it is located somewhere else.

Kindly if you can provide me exact location for the fuse and relay will be great, is this going to be on the passenger side or driver side? Also is this under the carpet or somewhere else.

Thanks

We only have for US models and it shows it is fuse 110 on left hand fuse panel and the other fuse is on right hand panel. if your model is in UK then we have no information for it. I tried and sent what we have for reference. the picture may be small but it says right on it what it is.

the Audi world url said the code was leak in the system which can be checked with soapy water in a spray bottle.

Do you have actual picture or video to understand where is this dash board and how to access fuse and relay. I am sorry to ask you so much as I am not as good in to understand cars but trying to learn these things and not looking to spend allot of money to fix this issue
