sealant in front airbags

[rangietragic]

Am thinking of putting tyre sealant in my front airbags as budget cannot stretch to new ones at this time.I did it once on a p38 and it held for a while.Has anyone done this?Im looking at removing them,injecting "slime" or similar and replacing them.Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I'm not sure how it will go, be interested to hear.

Most leak through the swivel seals, unlike the rears (or P38) the top plate of the front bags rotates back and forth to allow for steering. This is the week link.

What happens if the sealant gets back to your valve block? Air dryer?

Don't know,can't even find them on the l322:confused:

That's better thanks;) don't have them fancy bits on my series or d1:D don't have the other airbags either:p

Where is the valve block?I think the pump is under the spare wheel?

From back to front....

Air compressor in the mushroom under the spare wheel,
Pressure relief valve in right side spare wheel compartment,
Rear springs valve block over right rear wheel arch,
Air tank (skinny tubular thing) under right side sill,
Front Valve behind (rear) right front wheel arch behind the plastic shield, and
Air Sus. ECU behind left side dash end panel.

It might work for pinholes but I dont think it would do any good for the wear cracks therse bags develop.
