2018 SQ5 air actuator Noise when opening the drivers door.

[TexasDfwS4]

Hello all,
I hear this air noise every-time I enter the car, if overnight it's much longer maybe twice the time. It 's just as if the air suspension is loading up. My question is does everyone else that has OEM air ride have this?

Yup happens to me too.

Thanks, imagination gone wild, thought it was getting louder LOL. I was going to take it in but now I will wait.

Happens to me as well.

The other oddity - is that every "first drive" in the morning - about a block from my house I get a couple of click "adjustments" in my gas pedal. Not sure what it is - feels like it's some sort of "adjustment" (perhaps in MMIS settings).

It’s more than likely the fuel pump priming as opposed to the air suspension. I haven’t heard this suspension as of yet, but if it sounds anything like the system on my old ar, it’s a very distinctive “whoosh” noise that you probably wouldn’t mistake for anything else.

Either way, totally normal.

Yes this freaked me out at first too!

That sounds like the ABS system recalibration. Also totally normal.

Totally normal for equipped with air suspension. My Macan Turbo with PASM does it too, but its very subtle. It compensate for the load and when you lock the car it lowers the car down. Now, my GLC63s it's loud when it airs out you can actually hear it and it sounds pretty cool.

Feels like you’re bragging and I support that.

Audi/VW are set to prime the fuel system after setting for more than 30+/- min without running. If this happens every time you open the door regardless of drive time, then likely a suspension prime for the bags. If it's only first thing in the morning or after the vehicle has sat an extended period then likely the fuel pump prime.

It happens every time, but first time of the day it is longer. but if I open the drivers door and grab my cigarettes smoke one outside of the car and then open the door again it will do it again but not as long.
