compressor kit didn't work..

Ok... So, I brought the Cayenne to a VW dealer in Twin Falls to fix the suspension. It didn't go so well, so looking for your advice.

In sum, the diagnostic codes confused them. They said it would take several hours to try to figure out the codes first, or they could just replace the compressor kit and hope it worked. Unfortunately, no such luck. Now the suspension is locked in the loading position, the very lowest. It looks cooler, but runs much rougher. Also, I noticed before that the drivers side was ~3" higher than the passenger side, when it was much higher. Now it appears still higher on the left but not nearly as much.

They couldn't get the compressor to fill the bags, and believe it may be something electrical. They feel they can fix it but will take some time trying to figure it out. They have a code reader but not a Porsche one that would tell them precisely what the issue is.

They did indicate that the compressor was showing a temp of over 400 degrees which lead them to conclude that perhaps it was not working properly.

They said it is safe, but if I ever want to sell or trade the SuV in, I will need to fix it. I can bring it to Boise Porsche dealer, but was hoping someone might know something here. Thanks in advance.
