Air suspension warning light. Vehicle sits lower than normal on one or more corners. The air suspension compressor on the XC60 Mk2 can fail, preventing the system from maintaining correct ride height. The compressor is located in the boot area and is susceptible to moisture ingress. Replacement compressors are available from Volvo and aftermarket suppliers. Inspect all air lines and bags for leaks before condemning the compressor.

All four corners gradually dropping when parked overnight. Compressor was running constantly trying to maintain pressure. Compressor motor had worn out. Replaced compressor. Springs were all fine — compressor failure mimics spring failure because everything drops slowly.
Parts replaced: Air suspension compressor
Rear nearside corner dropped overnight. Air suspension warning light on. Fault pointed to rear nearside air spring. Replaced the air spring — £420 for the part, £150 labour. Car sits level and smooth again. These springs don't last forever, especially if the car has covered motorway miles.
