Adaptive Suspension - burning?

tigerwhite · 06-16-2008, 11:43 AM

Hi
I switched off my A8 3.0TD quattro yesterday, then a clicking sound could be heard near the passenger headlamp on bonnet, 10 minutes later some smoke with plastic type smell was coming and would not go away with clicking sound still going on. i switched on headlamp wiper with water and dowsed the smoke away with water. This morning the adaptive suspension warning lamp is continually on. i have booked in to garage to check & asked RAC guy but did no know what problem is. Anyone else have any idea?

That is the location of the air pump so looks like it's on melt down!!! Never seen one do that before!

Thanks, will get the garage to look at it tommorow, is it fairly straightforward to replace air pump?

Fairly involved as the suspension basic settings will have to be done once the new pump is fitted.
