2006 Land Rover Discovery 3 SE w 157k miles

I started receiving this Suspension fault a few months ago.

C1130-66 (68) or (2C)
Air Spring Air Supply
Algorithm based failure
signal has too many transitions / events

I believe there is a tear in the Front Passenger side air bag because I can hear a noticeable air leak at low speeds when hitting bumps or making turns. The sound is not constant, only comes in short bursts. I don't notice it at higher speeds or when the car is parked. It seems to leak more when I put it in Off Road mode.

If I put it in Off Road mode with the engine running, I can get out and shake the truck and get it to make the sound. So if it's rocking side to side, it only makes the sound when it's going in one direction.

I'm at the point where I plan to order a new OEM air spring and front strut assembly off of Amazon for $250. Is there any other considerations or troubleshooting I should attempt before making this purchase? Does it sound like it could be any other culprit, height sensors, etc?

Is there a code lookup that is more specific for troubleshooting that exact code I received above?

Thanks for any and all help!

*EXTRA INFO

I sprayed with soapy water around the air suspension components, no bubbles anywhere. I removed the fuse for the suspension and measured wheel well heights, car remained fairly level after 24hrs.

The truck is only driven a couple times a week while in the city and gets taken off roading several times a year.

A year ago I had a tire patched and the mechanic placed the jack under the compressor and damaged the lower cover. After buying a new lower cover and checking the electrical, the compressor has seemed to run a bit longer than it used to but I don't know or think this is necessarily related.

 

change your struts, The bags fold over each other and the leak is essentially sealed/covered in normal height.

 

That's what I was assuming. Just seeing if there's any other troubleshooting I should perform before making the purchase.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Where there is smoke, there is fire. If you can hear it hissing from the strut when you shake it, its leaking. Like Abran said, the rubber portion can seal itself at certain heights, and leak at others.
