2018 Panamera Turbo - Front Air Suspension Sagging Overnight

0

Hey everyone,

I've got a problem with my 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo's air suspension. Lately, I've noticed that the front right corner of the car sags significantly overnight. When I start it up in the morning, it slowly raises back to the normal height, but it's clearly losing air while parked.

There are no warning lights on the dash when driving, and the car seems to hold its height fine once it's up. It's just that overnight drop that's concerning me. I haven't hit any major potholes recently, and the ride quality otherwise feels normal.

Has anyone experienced this with their Panamera? What should I be looking for? Is this usually a simple fix like an O-ring, or am I looking at a new air strut?

  3. Check TSBs & recalls — look up your VIN for open campaigns and known fixes.
  4. Inspect the obvious — related fuses, connectors, fluid level, and recent repairs.
