On the 2019-2025 Audi A8, on air-suspension-equipped 2019-2025 Audi A8 vehicles, the cluster may show an air-suspension malfunction warning while the suspension controller stores C1260F0 or U112100 with symptom code 262400. Audi directs diagnosis toward communication, wiring and connector contacts between the suspension controller and compressor control module; the bulletin does not establish that every warning is a failed compressor, leaking spring or collapsed suspension.

This issue also affects: Audi e-tron, Audi Q8, Audi RS Q8

Common Symptoms

  • Air-suspension malfunction warning in the instrument cluster

How to Fix

Record the complete DTC and symptom code and have an Audi-capable technician inspect the specified wiring and connector contacts. If no wiring or contact problem is found, continue the guided procedure in current Audi service information. Do not replace a compressor, spring or relay from this card alone.
